C++ ... whats next?

[Attila Alp Oğuz]

I've just finished my first C++ book "C++ Primer Plus" and still want to study C++ for jumping to the next level in EA programming in MQL 5.

Which book would you advise me to study next?

Which subject in C++ should I master now for excelling in EA programming?

Sergey Basov:

For now, I'm trying to improve my programming skills in the circle of C++ ... as I think that I can benefit it later when programming in MQL 5.

So, I don't mean MQL 5.

After an introductory book, which subject in C++ should I master more for being a better EA programmer?

[cemal]

Google is better place to search the subject in details.But as far as I know  C++ created by Prof. Bjarne Stroustrup https://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-4th/dp/0321563840

[Marco vd Heijden]

C++ is very old.

Have a look at Python.

I would suggest you search the CodeBase (see above) for various EAs and Indis and study them, start them change them and see what happens.

There are even single and series of articles (as well from above) like Graphical Interfaces or Cross Platform EAs with lots of described and commented code!

Good luck!

Thanks to all ...

You can use C ++ inside MT4. My library ATcl (http://nektomk.ru/en:atcl:start) allows you to compile and use modules "on the fly" right during the execution of advisers.
Minimized demo with "С" included in distribution:

#include <ATcl\\ATcl.mqh>

const string c=
"static double sum(double x, double y) {"
"    return x+y;"
"}";

ATcl *tcl;
void OnStart()
{
   ATcl_OnInit();
   tcl=new ATcl;
   if (tcl!=NULL && tcl.Ready()) {
      bool ok=false;
      do {
         // use critcl package (compiler environment)
         if (tcl.Eval("package require critcl")!=TCL_OK) break;
         // pass some c/c++ to compiler
         if (tcl.Call(tcl.Obj("critcl::ccode"),tcl.Obj(c))!=TCL_OK) break;
         // make callable proc
         if (tcl.Eval("critcl::cproc mysum { double x double y } double { return sum(x,y);}")!=TCL_OK) break;
         // use it :-)
         double ret=tcl.DoubleCall(tcl.Obj("mysum"),tcl.Obj((double)5.0),tcl.Obj((double)7.1));
         PrintFormat("5.0+7.1=%f",ret);
         ret=tcl.DoubleEval("mysum 77.0 14.88");
         PrintFormat("77.0+14.88=%f",ret);
         ok=true;
      } while(0);
      if (!ok) {
         PrintFormat("Error : %s",tcl.StringResult());
      }
   }
   delete tcl;
   ATcl_OnDeinit();
}

This feuture uses Tcl Critcl package http://wiki.tcl.tk/2523 (also http://wiki.tcl.tk/8403)

Thanks Maxim,

As I don't have a formal computer programming education (... and as I'm now 45), I think that I will never be able to mix those things so much.

I selected C/C++ because it seems that they will be the key stones for my planned works for my retirement :) By mastering C/C++,

1. I think that I will be able to excel in coding EAs in MQL 5,

2. I think that I will be able to use C/C++ seamlessly with Matlab,

3. If needed, I will be able to move easily to GPU programming,

4. If really needed, I will be able to do some Windows tasks.

...

I decided to study concurrency in C++ after my introductory study mentioned in my original post and then later I think to study Open CL ... any gap here, any objection?

Hello,

I would suggest go for C and not C++

[Cristian Eriksson]

C++ is very hot right now with Webassembly and EOS rolling out. Everything can be done in C++.
