Code Blocks (C++ and C++/CLI Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

C++ versus C++/CLI: A side by side comparison between C++ and C++/CLI.

Language Basics

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Code Blocks

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

The rules for code blocks within a language dictate where you can declare variables, how you "bracket" code, etc.

C++: { }

For C++, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, I will use Berkeley indent style only because I see more C++ code formatted that way.

Syntax Example:

int Dog::Bark() {
 cout << "My first class method!" << endl;
 return 0;
};

C++/CLI: { }

Same as standard C++. For C++, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, I prefer to put the first { at the end of the first line of the code block as in the example above because I see more C++ formatted that way.

Syntax Example:

class Cyborg {
public: System::Void IntroduceYourself() {
    MessageBox::Show("Hi");
  }
};
