This is not a programming question.
Very odd post - I am actually asking for opinions...
Please share your actual experience and tell your opinion
(in few words, do not want to take too much of your time )
what you recommend as
C++ learning book ( no u-tube, PLEASE ) written in
K&R style.
I mean "meat and potatoes" and minimal "click this /click that"
(got one already ) kindergarten picture book of 500 + pages.
Cheers

C++ is a far bigger language than C, so it can't be done in a small book. I learned it quite a while ago, so I can't give you a current recommendation. But the reviews of this book (by the inventor of C++) sound like it could be what you're looking for:

The direct comparison to K&R would be C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup This is a 1300+ page book, so it's not something you can get through in an couple of days, which gives you some idea of the difference in size between C++ and C. The book is also more a reference, whereas K&R is almost tutorial in approach.
Alternatively, there's Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo That dives straight into the C++ programming with STL. I found it very aproachable and easy to read. My only concern with this book is that it is a bit dated, having been published in 2000, with no newer editions having been published, so additions from C++11...C++23 are not covered (shame!)
I know you don't want YouTube suggestions, but I think C++ Weekly with Jason Turner is worth a look. It's not a course, but he does cover some of the ins and outs of C++. Most videos are less than 20 minutes long, and can provide some insights as to why, for example, you might want to avoid using std::endl.

Essential C++ [Book]
Looks like not many C++ authors are updating their books, but this is a consise introduction to C++. Covers a number of important topics, but dated 1999, previous millennium.

Following discusses a new feature in C# which as it looks to me, just means code can be written in even more obscure ways to no point. It allows one to implicitly specify a constructor.
Refactor your C# code with primary constructors - .NET Blog[^]
I have been doing this a long in multiple OO languages and I can say for certain that I never, not even once, wished that I could write code that would mingle the constructor with a method call.
Seems like a perfect way for someone to decide to make modifications after the fact without refactoring but by trying to hack a way into using the same code.

How does one send a private message to another CodeProject member? My search skills must be weak in this area.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Find a post they made and click the Email link (rather than the Reply link) on that post.

Nowadays, you must have a really high CP reputation for the 'Email' link to appear. I remember it was there, generally available to everyone, but I guess someone abused it, so it was reserved for only those very trustworthy ones. I am not among those, and I wouold suspect that the OP isn't, either.

Okay good, I thought I still wasn't seeing it.

Is that a reputation limited thing? I don't see the email link on any posts.

Interesting. Such a link used to exist unless the OP turned that feature off (some members do this so as to not be bothered). I looked at several posts by myself and others and indeed I do not see an Email link. When I check my settings, however, I have the Email notifications turned on. I guess it's above my pay grade.

Can you explain how to enable/disable that feature? I don't find it, but I remember for sure, before a decade it was there.
Maybe also @kent-sharkey can help on that?

I'm fairly sure the private email link in posts was removed some time ago.

That used to be an option for everyone, but it's been a long time since I've seen the email link in any post. Just for giggles, check this response to see if the email link appears. In Options I have checked the "Allow private email replies to this message" box, as well as the "E-mail me if someone replies to this message" box.

I just checked my permissions on CP. Apparently, in order to send private messages one must be a "protector". AFAIK, very few members have that privilege.

Just curious, or am I expecting too much ?
OK, I declare / define C function to return int...
Then I forget to add
return ...
in code.
Compiles / links AND crashes with no error message...

|

Wrong place to ask. When you find the correct place, include the actual code and other details.
|

Without an explicit return statement, functions default to returning an int. What compile level are you using? I always use level 4.

Me too and that was my first thought. How did that even compile?

Might not wanna help him. This is the third time he's posted a programming question in the lounge. And from what I've seen the forums, he's not doing much better there either.
