Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm testing some snippets I found off the web using g++ from MinGW. This is the C++ compiler...why then does it correctly compile C....why do people intertwine C and C++. The concrete question is: Is it O.K. to use both C and C++ and compile under g++. If the answer is yes, this makes my life easy as I do not have to modify the code. Oddly enough...to get some C++ to work, particularly when passing a string to an ifstream constructor it requires a C type string... My guess would be that because C++ depends upon C constructs at times is is O.K to write the two languages together. However as a matter of style you should settle on cout / cin or printf / scanf .
