C++ and VISUAL Basic Difference?

Well I did Visual basic as a summer course and Now I am doing C++ , apparentley I know both are programming languages but what is the main difference between both? And what are the pros and cons?

C++ and VISUAL Basic Difference?
Really it depends on whether we are talking about pre-.Net or post-.Net, but I will make some assumptions.





About -


C++ is a true OO (Object Orientated) language. Meaning, you have class separation layers that makes it easy to do modular programming.





Pros-


Very Powerful language as most large legacy systems are built in C++. Codebases routinely can be larger than 10 million lines with little trouble due to the module nature of classes.





Cons -


Takes a true skilled programmer to use effectively, and because no object cleanup system exists, it is quite easy to leak memory.








VB+


About -


Originally built as a prototyping language to be used internally by MS. Was never really intended to be used for production systems.





Pros -


Very Rapid to use





Cons-


No Scalability whatsoever. Very difficult to build anything that is not generic in nature.
Reply:C++


u can say its professitional lang okay and its make alot of things for exmaple linux made by c++


Vb


like the same but u can't do kernel on it And its more easier just drop and drag And easier to connecting database
Reply:May be you can post your requirements at http://homework.feedmelink.com/


and let many programmers bid for your project.


You can hire whoever you like.





Do not pay any money afront however.
Reply:C++ is Character User Interface (CUI)


VB is Graphical User Interface (GUI)





In VB, you develop applications by using existing tools and you can do coding whenever required.





In c++ hard-end coding required. But you can develop very good logic. you can write system programs only in c++ not in vb.





Both are good and project requirement of vb or c++ depends on the domain.
Reply:Visual Basic programs works only for windows,


and C++ is used also on the other platforms
Reply:Everybody seems to have missed one important difference. Visual Basic is Windows only. VB is great if you want something that is easy to write in and only runs on Windows. C++ runs on just about everything. I use it on 68K, Linux, Nios etc. heck, even Windows when I have to.
Reply:More people use C++ thats what I know.
