I've got a few questions

[ethaninja]

So I've got some questions that have been bugging me for ages that I hope you guys can answer. Some are simple, some require a fair bit of knowlage (or not) in the respective area. Anywho, first question is first:

1. Why is a nosebleed not a "dangerous" form of blood loss?
2. Why is the StarWars franchise considered "nerdy"?
3. Whats the difference between C and C++ (I understand they are both different versions of C, but why?)

Thats all I can think of now. So feel free to answer, or not, and yeah... go nuts (but don't...)

1. I don't know.
2. I don't think it's nerdy at all, actually.
3. C+ is a better mark than C.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

1) Because the blood vessels in your nose are too small and carry very little amounts of blood within them.

2) It's in space and many a people have dreamed of going into space.

3) I have absolutely no idea.

 

[dex-dex]

1. because it can
2. nothing could be nerdier than stuff in space and something called "the force" also when most people think of nerds science fiction comes to mind and star wars fits that
3. c is a lower mark on a report card than a c+ and you parents won't be as disappointed with a c+ at least that rule applies to my parents

my answers may not be accurate but what is the fun in that?

 

[RootBrewski]

The biggest difference between C and C++ is that C is only a procedural language whilst C++ can be used in object oriented programming

 

[DefunctTheory]

1. Its a low bleed zone, though in certain cases it actually IS dangerous. But usually thats because of a much worse symptom.
2. Because its SciFi and a bunch of idiots (I don;t use that term here offensively) run around and LARP is. LARP=Nerdy.
3. C++ has more programming parameters. Its like adding more words to the same language.

1) Because its easy to plug it up.
2) Because we made it that way.
3) Don't know. I just used C++ as my programming language, never used C...

3.
C is a procedural language, while C++ is an Object-Oriented language.

In OO, you can define "classes" with its own data members and member functions. You can then create different Objects using the class as a blueprint.

Each object has it's own internal state, and so two objects instantiated from the same class can hold different values in it's data members, and actions applied to one object do not effect other objects.

In C, you cannot create objects, and therefore cannot operate on separate instances of the same class.

OOP (OO Programming) is considered much stronger in most cases because it allows for better flexibility, more readable code, better data-hiding, possibility for encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphic substitution.

1.Probably because you usually stop bleeding from your nose long before you are noticibly affected by blood loss.
2. Because it's considered by the general public to be sci fi, and, to the general public, almost everthing sci fi is for the nerds.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

1. Like the fellow above me said, small blood vessels.
2. Um... It's mainly a stereotype but...You know that's a really good question...
3. From what I gather, C++ is more advanced, making is more versatile, but less noob friendly.

I feel like a guru.

3. Dont know what C and C++ are, some kind of software I presume?

Programming language.

Because they don't answer my questions?

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

1. Why is a nosebleed not a "dangerous" form of blood loss?

You don't lose much blood, and it's a burst blood vessel rather than a severed one.

2. Why is the StarWars franchise considered "nerdy"?

Because it's science fiction.

3. Whats the difference between C and C++ (I understand they are both different versions of C, but why?)

C++ is uselessly bloated. OOP can suck my balls.


Trust me, I'm a scientist.
