Scratch

I think it's a program, but I have never used it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B

C++ is what most larger programs are written in. Things like big commercial games and such. I don't know where you actually type it in though.

Um so C++ is a language u can use many COMPILERS to make a program with it . the program for that could even be written in a notepad but to run it u need to have a compiler i think DevC++ is a good compiler for C++ although Microsofts Visual C++ 2009 is one of the most powerful compilers till date.

and one thing u should remember C++ is not even close to scratch it is 100% typing based language there are many net tutorials for it u should see them before starting to program in C++

All the best

ever need help || ASK me

its the language used to code like most things. i think windows is coded using c++ for games, companies tend to use engines and sometimes develop their own such as the unreal engine 3 or valve's engine which i think is called their source engine or something.

Windows isnt coded with C++ its done with BASIC , C++ is the most used language as its easy and powerful 

If you want a C++.Net coder, download Microsoft C++ and if you want to make games easy with it there's an addon for it which lets you make pc games for free or pay $100 bucks a year and make x-box 360 games which you can sell.
Did you know you can make 3d games in VisualBasic.Net. I've been trying it's hard but I found a tutorial which shows you how make the 3d enviroment. C++ is simple compared to VB.Net when making games.

Windows is written in C++.

Don't believe me? Go ask Microsoft! Basic is too easy. Windows can't be written in it.

U said BASIC Is EASY .i am not talking about Visual Basic i am talking about BASIC the old programming Language || atleast my CS books says that

I did not say Visual Basic. Windows is written in C++. There is no way (except MS DOS) Windows is written in BASIC

Sorry to bump and old topic, but how is Windows Written in C++? I cant find any .cpp files in the folders...

I don't know if I'm correct or not, but that might be because Windows isn't open source, so those files are combined into other kinds of files like .dll.

You are not going to like the source of any program made in c++ if you just look at its contents. C++ programs are compilled into a form where the computer can read it more easily but you cannot. This holds true for most programs.
