C Programming Tutorial 3- Strings and Char Data Type in C: Game Programming Series: Part 1

Nov 9, 2011 - Hi, getchar is good, but would be better to teach how to clean the the buffer instead of sloopy code... So it would be more like scanf(" %c", &gender); and i meant to use the space b4 the %c which clears the buffer... scanf also reads all types which will be more usefull in a long run...

Nov 9, 2011 - Another thing is, you should be returning 0 at the end of the main function to tell the operating system the program terminated correctly... C also has no "real" strings. And pointers should be better explained since they are crucial to the language. They are also more advance subjects of the language for someone who is just starting to learn the language.. Also the tutor is making no use of Warnings on the compiler which starts terrible practice. Learning how to stop errors is a must.

Nov 10, 2011 - Oh I get it. Actually I have been self-learning those language, and I am beginning to understand how C converts to ASM now. Thanks for the information. Though self-learning may take lot of time, it rely benefits a lot!

Dec 17, 2011 - I'm just a little confused. I was always taught to get my consoles to stay open with the system("PAUSE"); command and that just seems to be a little better programming practice. What's the difference?

Dec 21, 2011 - >Reads tutorial for an hour. Learns nothing.>Watches few tutorials. Learns more than I could've learned from a day of reading that tutorial.In all, Great tutorial.

Dec 22, 2011 - Thanks I've learnt so much off of these tutorials I'm 13 and an aspiring games programmer so I have been learning C this has taught me soo much, shame you have stopped making them

Dec 27, 2011 - system(PAUSE) is an actual call to an underlying OS function, whereas getchar() is a stdio C function...getchar is just lighter and more portable...A lot of people will do something like:printf("Press any key to continue. . .");getchar();

Jan 9, 2012 - why use int main ( ) instead of void main ( ) ? =)

Jan 19, 2012 - 1. scanf is used for reading the input from the user until he presses ENTER. It is much better to use getchar to record ONE character from the user and put it into a CHAR variable instead of recording an unlimited user input and hoping he doesn't input more than one character. Because if he does do so and put a whole string in a char, it will break the program...2.scanf is considered "unsafe" because it can sometimes produce unexpected results

ManijakTotalni Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - main is nothing else than any other function, except for being the starting and mostly ending one, the Big Boss if you want...if you use void it means the function won't return a value. He used int because it would require too much time for one video to explain what arguments are when you start a program...

Mar 12, 2012 - i'm 100% new to any programming so, if you read this please 'dumb down' your answer, but when i run it the line: printf("Your name is %s", userName); turns red and a mini x appears beside it, what did i do wrong and what does it turning red mean?

RomanNumural9 Says:

Mar 12, 2012 - nvm i'm a retard, i forgot the semicolon on the line above :3
