Original Post
Hi. i've just about grasped the basics of c++, i know how to operate on pointers, work with objects, a little bit of inheritance and all the other basic manipulations. I've learnt all this through self-learn books which all seem to teach uptill here and then drop off. Now i'm unable to move on. i worked with turbo c++ 3.0 till now, and finally i've jumped to the GNU. what do i learn next, and (since most of you have cleared this stage of learning), could you point out any nice links for ebooks, tutorials, etc.? Thanks a lot in advance. oh, i also have this problem with the input with my code::blocks compiled program. here it is. can you please tell me why getline(std::cin, string h) does not work sometimes? thanks again. Edit: please use [source lang="cpp"] [source] tags to display large portions of source code (> 10 lines) - Emmanuel cheers [Edited by - Nitin on April 25, 2007 9:23:39 AM]
