What happens when you use C++?

Question

I'm just being introduced to C++, and want to know a basic question.... What happens when using C++? Is there anywhere I can see a working example? Textbooks break it down, segment by segment. I would really like to SEE what happens. ANY suggestion would be appreciated. Hope MY question is not too vague. Thanks!

Answer 1

You get into the office around 8:30am, get some tea, and you sit down and run a program called an IDE. It lets you type code with the keyboard, such as:

(*m_pHopeThisIsntNull)->doIt();

You can then hit F5 and the code runs and you find out it doesn't work the way you expected. Pretty soon it's 5:30pm.
