The C++ code language topic
1 What is C++?
C++ is a compiled programming language allowing programming under multiple paradigms, including procedural programming, object-oriented programming, and generic programming. And i want to the scratch team add this language to scratch
Why i want to add the C++ code language ?
1 C++ is used to create computer programs, and is one of the most used language in game development.
2 the C++ language can help old scratchers to make games easly
3 the C++ ls a famous code language and it will be nice to update scratch
How can we use C++ language?
1 Search in google or youtube for tutorials to use the C++ code language.
2 make more games in other apps like godot and python to use the C++ language in scratch .

#include <iostream>Thats all for the day, thanks for reading my topic
int main()
{
using std::cout;
// std::cout est disponible sans utilisation de std::
cout << “Hello, new world!” << std::endl; // mais pas std::endl (endline)
}
void foo()
{
// std::cout n'est plus disponible sans utilisation de std::
std::cout << “Hello, new world!” << std::endl;
}

Kind of amazing how a programming language created in 1989 is still relevant and popular today…
Then again, this shouldn't be all that surprising considering that C is ten years older and still being used (notably almost all of the Linux kernel is written in C). You can even still run BASIC and FORTRAN on modern-day computers, dispite being some of the oldest programming languages in the world.

Yeah I wrote my DPCM decoder in C++ (will make a lossless 7-bit PCM)
#include <iostream> #include <sndfile.hh> #include <algorithm> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int decode(u_int8_t * array,size_t ssize, string filename); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 3) { cerr << "No output specified" << endl << "Where will it go then?" << endl; return 1; } if (argc < 2) { cerr << "No input specified" << endl; return 1; } ifstream Input(argv[1], ios::binary | ios::ate); if(!Input) { cerr << "Failed to open data" << endl; return -1; } streamsize size = Input.tellg(); if (size < 0) { cerr << "Failed to find file size" << endl; return -1; } char buffer[(size_t)size]; cout << (size_t)size << endl; Input.seekg(0,ios::beg); if (!Input.read(buffer,size)) { cerr << "nooo" << endl; return -1; } return decode((u_int8_t*)buffer,(size_t)size,argv[2]); } int8_t Fetch(u_int8_t toDecode, bool decodeSecond) { int8_t output = 0; if (decodeSecond) { output = int((toDecode & 0xf0) >> 4) - 8; } else { output = int(toDecode & 0b00001111) - 8; } return output; } int decode(u_int8_t * array,size_t ssize, string filename) { int16_t currentSample = 0; size_t arraySize = ssize; int16_t output[arraySize * 2] = {0}; cout << " size " << arraySize * 2 << endl; int8_t currentError = 0; for (u_int32_t i = 0; i < arraySize * 2; i++) { currentError = Fetch(array[(int)(i /2)],(int)(i % 2)); currentSample += currentError; output[i] = currentSample; cout << "Sample " << i <<" Error " << (int)currentError << " Step " << currentSample << " Decodery \n"; } int maxval = *std::max_element(output, output + sizeof(output) / sizeof(output[0])); int minval = *std::min_element(output, output + sizeof(output) / sizeof(output[0])); int toNorm = 32767 / max(maxval,-minval); cout << toNorm <<" "<< maxval << endl; for (int t = 0;t < sizeof(output) / sizeof(output[0]); t++){ output[t] *= toNorm; } const int channels = 1; const int sampleRate = 8000; const int format = SF_FORMAT_WAV | SF_FORMAT_PCM_16; const char* outfilename = filename.c_str(); SndfileHandle outfile(outfilename, SFM_WRITE, format, channels, sampleRate); if (!outfile) { cout << "Failed to open wave"; return 1; } outfile.write(output,sizeof(output) / sizeof(output[0])); cout << "Output sucsessfly packaged as " << filename << endl ; return 0; }

And no one has mentioned the duplicate after 1 yearAccording to ma007rio on the forum you suggested.
Since this is an *awfully* old topic:It's an awfully old topic.
just go here
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/773800/
This is more like a fresh start to me because, I discovered this forum first before the forum you suggested.

I was wondering, is there any way for me to learn C++ without the whole, hello world, hello world but with an input, hello world but now ur input changes the text colour etc. ?

C++ is also quite prominent among the DIY electronics community for its extensive use in microcontrollers like the Arduino platform

I'd say that if anything Java is closer to C# (I mean C# is Microsoft's version of Java but like… yeah) but C++ is a route you can take if you'd like. Considering you've learned a fairly “high-level” programming language it's better to go to another “high-level” language (C++ is considered intermediate).C++ is also quite prominent among the DIY electronics community for its extensive use in microcontrollers like the Arduino platformI know C#. Is C++ a good stepping stone from there?
yes I know this post is 13 days old, that isn't that old.

What's the difference between C, C++, and C#?C is the original language from 1972:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, World!"); return 0; }
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello, World!"; return 0; }
Finally, C♯ is an object oriented language loosely based on C by Microsoft from 2000:
using System; namespace Hello { class Hello { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!"); } } }

-snip-C++ does not force you to use cout for printing, you can still use printf even in C++. Every single feature that is part of C can still be used in C++.*
C++ is an extended version from 1985:Whilst forcing you to manually pipe to cout instead of having a function like printf() seems like an abridgement rather than an extension, C++ does add new features; for example, there is a ‘string’ type, whereas in C you have to use an array of ‘char’s.#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello, World!"; return 0; }
-snip-
*This isn't technically true due to stuff like restrict and some minor type casting differences, but 99% of the time, they will act the same.

Does make me wonder why they always tell you to pipe to cout though
