I've coded in a few different languages before, but the problem I run into the most is also the simplest. Where do I get a simple list of the language's codes and what they do? For example, using an if-then statement is written in different syntax depending on whether it's writing in Java, C++, or heck, even Papyrus Script from Skyrim. I've just spent an hour duking it out with the 2010 C++ help sections, and I can't find a single line of actual working code.
So, does anyone know where to find the precise coding and syntax? As apposed to object oriented programming concepts or how to use the fancy options new options lol?
