Don't be scared: C++ doesn't hurt! Suppose I say:
for (int i=0; i < max; i++) {}
Do you know what I mean?
How about "//" as a comment character?
Tricky? NO! With a bit of warning,
operator overloading is hardly surprising; I mean
long operator*(int a, int b);
is obviously not C syntax, but it's pretty clear.
Even classes, if not virtual or otherwise jazzed up,
are just about like good old familiar structs,
albeit with some hiding.
Learn it now or learn it later: C++ is the standard.
