How many languages do you know?

FoderMe · 13th August 2002, 7:11 AM

I first learnt C, then VB, then C++ (different enough from C to be another language IMO), MFC (not REALLY a language, but I'm counting it) and then Java. So I guess 5.

None all that well. I could probably enter Programming comp #1 using C++, MFC or Java but I hate it doing stuff for uni as it is, I don't want to do it "for fun".

Out of all I liked C the most.

Advanced:

Basic / VB
SQL
T-SQL

Intermediate:

C(++)
Java
PL-SQL
Fox Pro
Delphi

Basic:

Cobol

There are probably others but I can't think of anything else ATM.

FoderMe · 13th August 2002, 7:37 AM

Oh yeh, SQL! I learnt that between C and VB.

Acid · 13th August 2002, 7:39 AM

I know:

Fairly good with Pascal
Fairly good with Delphi
Average with Visual Basic
Average with QBasic

that's about it

Not really the programming type.

Pacifist · 13th August 2002, 8:37 AM

I've done courses in Java, VB, C/C++ and SQL (not a programming language?)

i dont really know MFC even though it's supposed to be just like C/C++

i once wrote a program in haskell to interpret C and compile into DCode (assembly like). three languages in one, twas fun.

respec goes out to anyone who even heard of haskell.

In order of learning

- Fortran (remember that , old timers ?)
- Pascal
- Modula-2
- Assembly in 6800
- C
- C++
- Tcl/tk
- SQL & PL/SQL

mpot · 13th August 2002, 10:14 AM

I know these languages very well:
-Visual Basic (including lots of API and COM stuff)
-ASP
-VBA
-HTML
-VBScript
-Pascal
-C

and have some experience with these:
-Perl
-C++
-Prolog
-Joyce/Linda
-PDP11 assembler
-LISP

November, I've had to write a cross-compiler to go from C to PDP11 assembler...

Cheers,
Martin.

sir_bazz · 13th August 2002, 10:53 AM

Learnt all of these but haven't touched them in 8+ years.

Pascal
C
Cobol
SQL...if that counts.
Basic
VB

And a tiny bit of 8086 assembler.

MFC is not a programming language, it is a API. Thats like saying OpenGL is a language.

I know

Java
C
x86ASM
SQL
PL/SQL
Perl
Lisp
Bash (If people are saying VBScript Ill say bash.

)
Basic - doesnt everyone?
Brainfuck

Lightly dabbled in Fortran, Ada, Prolog, Python and Cobol, but nothing really serious or advanced.

yeah id always thought they shoulda called it OpenGAPI instead. dang fools.

Geo · 13th August 2002, 11:58 AM

It is Open Graphics Library, library is pretty much equivalent to API dont you think?
