Microsoft Compiler users:

If you get warning C4996 when compiling a C program file, place the following preprocessor directive at the top of that file or define it in the project settings:
      #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
If you get it in a C++ program file, you have done something wrong in that file.

What is a "C Program"?          What is a "C++ Program" ?

Many exercises say to, "write a C program" or, "write a C++ program".  Virtually all ANSI C functions and constructs will compile and execute properly in a C++ environment but, because C++ was designed to be "a better C", alternatives to many of those deemed "unsafe" have been implemented in C++.  Only the C++ alternatives should be used in a C++ program.  On the other hand, no C++ forms may be used in a C program.  For the C++ concepts covered in this course use the following guidelines when writing your programs:

Some characteristics of  a "C++ Program"

Source code files typically have  .c  extensions while header files typically have  .h  extensions.

Source code files never have  .c  extensions but instead typically have extensions of  .cpp, .cxx, .C, etc.  Header files typically have no extension.

void pointers and functions that use them or have a variable number of arguments are fine.

void pointers or functions that use them or have a variable number of arguments are not normally used.

Use the stdio family of functions for stream I/O, for example scanf, printf, getchar, putchar, fgets, fputs, fread, fwrite, etc. .

Use the iostream and ...fstream family of objects/methods/operators for stream I/O, for example cin, cout, cerr, get, getline, put, write, etc.

Use  malloc, calloc, realloc, and free for dynamic memory operations.

Use new, new[], delete, and delete[] for dynamic memory operations.

Use // for comments.
