I don't know if we want to discuss this here. There are a few C++
groups on yahoo, maybe you can start asking questions there. You can
also e-mail me direct ( [email protected] ) but remember I am not
a C++ pro.
To answer your question, int stands for integer and is NOT a command
but a declaration. It basically tells the compiler to reserve some
space in memory to store a number. The name of the integer is defined
in the line " int x,y;" here the variables "x" & "y" are defined as
integers, now you can use them later in your program.

programming Jim. So as a result, i bought a book over 1000 pages long
on beginning and fully learning about C++ programming. Along with the
book came a software program called Visual C++ by Microsoft, which
seems to be alot better than the program you suggested to me for
programming my own Lasertank prog.

has thrown alot of info at me) is about the "int" command. the book
says that when you define a variable, you also declare it. This is so
confusing i don't even know where to begin. I'm guessing that
variables under the "int" command are the specific commands that make
lasertank do what it does, yet, i don't understand how you personally
defined them. And the book also says that they can be defined to
represent the value of an integer... which means? I know im just
beginning, (which must be really annoying on your part) but i feel
that asking someone with a grasp of this information will help me
understand. Besides, without understanding this, i really can't get
past page 50! thanks Jim, ill await your response!
