I don't disagree with you, but I am arguing against people who say you don't need to understand C.
If it were the case that the new ways were actually superior in all cases, then that point would stand, but in many they are not.
It's a confederation of languages and pretending it isn't hinders people and their understanding.
- maxlybbert 12y agoI will admit that the textbook I learned C++ from didn't cover C-style string manipulation (other than to say it was error prone). It took a very long time for me to be comfortable doing any kind of string operation without first converting to a std::string. Nowadays I realize that there are often different answers to different questions, and it doesn't bother me.
