Can you use Microsoft Word's Visual Basic or Script Editor to make a ti program? Just thought i might ask...
Not a chance. The closest thing would be some sort of farfetched program that let you convert visual BASIC programs into 68k assembly programs, but they are far too advanced (VBasic). No way.
No, what Pure said is right. Visual Basic is completely different. But if you're a .NET programmer (which Visual Basic, v7 and above at least, is a majoy part of), there is already something sort of similar to C++ - TIGCC.
No. It is similar to C, not C++.
But if you're a .NET programmer
There isn't a .NET version of C, but there is a .NET version of C++, which is similar to C, which is similar to the C that TIGCC compiles.
C# is a good "advanced" .NET language, although the pointer system (garbage collection...) makes for moderate confusion.
And, I believe that .NET can compile C. (Not sure...)
It can compile C++, which pretty much means it can compile C.
