Switching from python to C++

[gameguy]

I know quite a bit about Python and want to learn C++. I have started a book but have found that some things it goes over too much, things in python like for loops, and others not enough, like arrays (I know about lists but arrays seem hard to operate on). Basically, I was wondering if there was any tutorials for learning C++ assuming knowledge of another programming language (not nessecarily python, but preferably).

I highly recommend to read this tutorial. It just assumes that you know the basics of programming, which I assume you do.

That looks really useful. Thanks

How do I change this to solved?
Or should I just leave it?

C++ Without Fear and Practical C++ Programming are both wonderful C++ books. As well the GNU programming tutorial is very useful for learning C (Which is a good stepping stone for learning C++ even if you already know Python) http://www.crasseux.com/books/ctutorial/
Note: Arrays aren't very difficult, think of a bunch of boxes with a number n on them (starting at 0). An array lets you put something into each box by calling the box like so box[n]. The following is an example of an using an array compared to doing the same thing without an array:

//No array
int a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i;
//With array
int foo[9];

To set a value to one of the boxes in the array you just write:

foo[0] = 82;

Arrays work just like normal variables but they create a great amount of variables all stored together under one name and accessed by their index number.

At the top of your first post on the right there is a drop down menu called "Thread Tools". Press it and choose "mark as solved".

Looks like you weren't logged in when you tried to mark the thread as solved. You have to be logged in.
