Awesome tutorial :D I did this on Ubuntu hehe. Please do continue with this tutorial, I want to learn and you're a great teacher! WOot!

I would like to see more complex material in the next part, i hope you post it soon. (pd: sorry if i have errors in my english..)

But macro's usually should be avoided in C++, as they can be replaced by functions (sure, the macro is replaced by the code it represents before compiling and there is no overhead at all, but when you're not writing a needs-to-be-extrmely-fast application or an OS, the overhead isn't that important). So I'd have to agree with Revan.

As people progress in programming they will learn the "ethics" of programming, but for the purposes of this tutorial, I did not want to confuse them further with more things like string and std. It would be one heck of a time trying to explain how that class even works. Plus, the idea was to show how #define works, not necessarily how to use strings. I understand your concern, but just hold out, I'll teach them in future tutorials what to do and what not to do. Thanks for the feedback! Revan,
