C++ and Pawn - Rayco - 07.08.2013

A user of this comunity told me that knowing the basics of C++ I can play my role as pawn scripter with as it is the same syntax, it's true?. The basic that he said me is; arrays, if, switch, operators, datatypes and bit more.

Thank you.

If you're capable of learning C++, you're definitely capable of learning PAWN. I can't make heads or tails out of anything but cout, but I know PAWN quite well - it's MUCH easier.

The design goals and purpose of both languages are TOTALLY different. If you wish to understand Pawn, you must take time to read the documentation.

Why would you learn C++ in order to take part as a scripter with the Pawn...?

I guess he already knows C++, and he wants to know if he has to learn a whole new language, or just get used to the new function names.

Anyway, pawn is actually a version of Small C, which is a subset of the C language, which is kinda like C++.

Most C-derived languages are very similar, but no, you won't be able to just pick up Pawn from C++ knowledge.
