Of course, you know the reason Basic was done in increments of 10…lack of editing ability so if you needed to add a statement, you could put in an 11, or 14 or whatever came between 10 and 20…after that, you had to “goto 100” and keep a pointer to goto 19 to get you back. Ugly, ugly code that was.

yea it wasn’t until Visual Basic you could employ wrappers, DLL routines and OCX calls…Still the framework was bulky and slow with all the chunk calls into DLL’s.. OO is the most advanced programming language today…The learning curve from C to C++ is steep…But with self testing in objects wild pointers to registers and scratch memory is all but eliminated and memory leaks in the heap are resolved with automatic garbage collection Routines…
In fact no program over 100000 lines of code should ever be written in anything but C++
It’s an powerful and eloquent language
