Have you tried writing C on the Cpp Playground?

Question

It really works for those who were wishing this app had C lessons and a compiler. You can include C libraries, write functions and all the other things else, but it has some bugs I think.
For example, It's kinda impossible to make some information input to work as the other languages. Anyways, It's a great way to practice your writing skills and to keep your mind safe from oblivion

Answer 1

Here is an example

Utilizes

- C

- C++

- Assembly

Answer 2

Hello Martin Taylor.
First thank you for your suggestions, really useful.
But I've to correct you in one point..
" c++ is a superset of c " is not really right..
Bjarne Stroustrup said c is not a subset of cpp.
cpp started from an early c but they evolved separately.
Most people think so but it's important to clarify this point I think.
IDE for both are often integrated in a single program and they were developed to be compatible as much as possible and maintain a large subset.
That's why they seems to be like father and son, but they're more like brothers.

Answer 3

As C is subset of Cpp , you can use C in Cpp.

Answer 4

sorry I misunderstood..
C is still one of the most important language and widely used, for example in GPU programming or hardwares generally.
I think #Sololearn should make a course and implement code playground for that!

Answer 5

thank you! I'll take a look

Answer 6

scanf doesn't work :(

Answer 7

What I found was that the c functions for getting user input were not recognised, so you don't get asked for user input. The code would compile without error though. My fix was that if I used 1 c++ function to get user input, sololearn would ask for user input, and the c input functions work normally.

Answer 8

It looks like Cpp to me, bro. The same libraries, the namespace thing, the cout printing method instead of printf. I told about writing literally using C language

Answer 9

The classic Hello World haha
This one goes well. The bugs come through when you try to get user input using scanf or gets

Answer 10

Scanf should work if you make a string with "cin >> whatever" for every scanf you have.

Answer 11

Code Playground is a code playground indeed.
It is great for small exercises and little snippets of code.
Obviously you'll need an IDE if you want to write just a simple program.
That's why Sololearn suggest code::blocks for example ;)

Answer 12

Fair hahaha I am getting used to it (Playground)

Answer 13

I tried my best on these ones. I only got the last one to compile correctly.

I thought about mixing up the String feature from Cpp with the scanf and printf from C, but it got some errors. I kinda prefer strings on OOP than in C, where you simply use a Char array. No use to my idea on this code

Answer 14

for real thanks for the tips people! fantastic!

Answer 15

A looooot ! It is my favorite unwanted feature ! :D

Answer 16

hey it's not c actually c++ is designed to run c codes however it do have major difference

Answer 17

Thanks AZTECCO. I use CodeBlocks, NetBeans, Notepad++, MonoDevelop and Visual Studio. The question was specially about Code Playground, exactly because of the fact it's a multilanguage mobile coding environment :)

Answer 18

I agree. I really love how things are done in here. The courses are awesome and we get free certificates! This is unbelievable to me. Here where I live, getting programming formation is kinda expensive

Answer 19

Yes, I tried.
Even my first code on Sololearn is in C on the Cpp playground.
