Hi, After quite a bit of procedural programming, we started inheritence today at school. Now, I understood what inheritence basically does, but I could not convince myself of its advantages. Moreover I seem to get confused asking myself "what should inherit what". We just had a discussion on the...

Hi all, I started getting into programming early this summer, with some previous experience. As I go through these beginner books I notice that most of it is all semantics with the same things: loops, if statements, etc etc. I understand these things and what I want is to learn more about...
