What Is C++ Used For?

LOL I feel like a fool for asking this but what can I use C++ for any wayS? And what is the language that is usually used to program games?

C++ is one of the programming languages used by many.
It is always good to know at least one programming language...
I learned C++, but the University I went to teach us Java instead. It is similar in a way, so it's easy once I get the basic.

But what exactly would I use it for?

Published games have almost all used C++ for it's speed, you can also use it to do anything you want on the computer. VB, for instance is a RAD (rapid application development) compiler. It is faster to create programs in VB than C++, yet you don't have as much freedom (though VB.NET is converging into C++ it seems). D2 modules, hack-it use C++, and others.

Could anyone tell me were I can learn how to use my C++ skills on changing, hacking, and other stuff like that?

Check the source files on d2hackit modules.

ok thanks

Check the source files on d2hackit modules.

Source is the worst way to learn, search www.google.com for C++ Tutorials. If you are going to look at source look at easier ones from www.pscode.com
