Yeah, I'm using C++. I didn't realize there was much difference syntactically, (besides the 
really obvious features that were added in C++), and I just don't know what the differences 
are.

I've never programmed pure C -- I've understood OOP since before I even started with C/C++, so 
I always used iostreams and classes. I couldn't use printf to save my life.
