C/C++ ? Really? Have you met many engineers who write a lot of C and who also love C++ or vice versa because I sure haven't. I decided not to complete the form after seeing 'C/C++'. Also, this is a flag if it's on a resume that the person may not really know either language.
- zengr 16y agoFrom a perspective of IDE/editor selection, does this matter?
- dexen 16y agoIt does for IDE. A mostly C tool may be extended to work with C++ but it's not a perfect fit [1]. Probably it goes the other way around as well. When used with inheritance, virtual functions, overloading and templates, C++ is much different semantically than the relatively straightforward C. Thus a different tool is to be preferred. ---- [1] that's my experience with the http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ http://cscope.sourceforge.net/
- blub 16y agoA C IDE is barely usable with C++.
- wladimir 16y agoOr someone that puts it on his resume could know both languages in depth, but wants to save space. There are many ways of discovering whether someone has proficiency in languages, but this sounds like a really crappy indicator.
- bnegreve 16y agoI deeply know C and C++. In my resume I'd rather remove my name than writing that I know C/C++.
