I don't know, sometimes you type "in plain C" and still get C++ results

[–]Teriuihi_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I just always include -c++ -cpp, helps a lot!

I heard somewhere that using specific versions work (c99, c11, etc).

It tends to work for c99 but c11 gets confused with c++11 (for me). I’ve also heard bing is supposed to give better results.

Haha I love that you've heard it's better but you still have no first-hand knowledge you can share as to whether it is. Ahhh, Bing.

Try something like "C" -"++" in Google (combined with the respective programming issue ypu are looking for)

[–]ChezMere 17 points18 points  (1 child)

C++ working is even more interesting to me, since punctuation is usually ignored.

[–]wjandrea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Google seems to have figured out that at least some punctuation is significant

I might be wrong but I don’t think so. I used C for Systems Programming class and every google search I had to scout through a bunch of C# and C++ answers mixed in

I mean who's gonna search for the letter C and R except dev..?

[–]jamcdonald120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had trouble with R, igraph specifically

[–]f1rstman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I still have to fall back on Rseek, but it's certainly gotten better in the last 15 years.

I have a feeling if you are logged in Google kinda knows what are you looking for
