It is easier to debug now? I remember when I was doing C++ coding we had to print our programs out on the green bar paper and then go line by line to find that missing comma or bracket. It was so tedious! Maybe if I had been better at it I wouldn't have had to do so much debugging!
Yeah modern tools like Visual Studio code/Visual Studio, and Xcode, make it a lot easier, but I still use lots of printf statements anyway :P
Good to know!
I am not sure I did much pure C as I tended to use C++ at work. The lower level stuff does make you more conscious of possible mistakes as they can really mess things up. At least we have plenty of choices in languages these days.
I liked C back in the DOS days because it compiled to one .exe file, had I access to a basic compiler such as quick basic etc I might never have learned it as much as I did :)
I'm not a big fan of C++ but mainly because in my head it is C with extra effort so I still tend to write plain C in C++ environments :P
