No :) (2 syllables if you count the smilely)
FWIW, I tried teachin myself C/C++ almost 10 years ago. I doubt I
remember enough to write a 'hello world' program now, but then I
progressed into learnin classes public and private, hierarchy, etc.
Actually wrote some very useful COGO programs I used at work.
C is object orientated programming (OOP) and functions, classes,
includes, etc. are linked to the app at runtime. So simply put,
objprelink'g speeds up runtime with a faster algorithm than is
normally used before the start of the program begins, ie, main()
[probly more descriptive than accurate]
the real story is here
