Are you really dense, or just being obtuse? As you have been told many
times before, C++ is a multi paradigm language. You can *choose* to
write OO or procedural code in C++.

You can't program in C++ without using classes. Even if you define
a simple structure it is actually a class.

Your ignorance continues to astound. Maybe you should take some time
out and learn C++ before slagging it off.


Yes Sir!

struct A {
int age;
char *Name;
};

int main(void)
{
A jacob;
}

This is valid C++ but invalid C. In C++ each "structure" definition
is just a CLASS where all members are PUBLIC by default. I see this
explanation in all C++ books I read but in my ignorance I believe
them. Stupid isn't it?

C++ does nothing magical with structs, if a struct is valid C, it is
equally valid in C++, nothing is added. Otherwise how could we use C
libraries with C++?


Both languages are still compatible at many levels. But I am not getting
crazy, the concept of CLASS is CENTRAL to the C++ language.

Of course you can write a hello world program without them but explain
me how do you ignore classes in C++?

By not using them?


Of course. But then you are not using C++.

If you write

int main(void) { printf("hello\n");}

you do not need classes but is it C++?

Maybe, who knows what buzzword will be invented in the future, but
the fact is that without classes you just can't do anything at all in
C++.

If everything C does plus quite a bit more (like your beloved operator
overloading) amounts to nothing.....


You are just playing word games, a favorite sport in this group.
Of course you can write programs in C and compile them with C++,
modulo some differences it is possible. I would be surprised that you
can use the STL without using implicitly a class!!!

What I am saying is obvious. But you refuse to admit the obvious.
C++ is centered around the class/inheritance concept and that is OO.
