Q:
I understand that C++ for Dummies assumes some knowledge of C programming. Is
this true?
A: The current edition, the 4th edition, does not assume that the reader
has any experience with C. 4th edition "begins at the beginning", as
they say.
Q:
Is the version of Dev-C++ on the 5th Edition CD-ROM the most recent?
A: No. Dev-C++ is being updated all the time. You can download the most
recent version at www.bloodshed.net ; however, I cannot guarantee that the
window captures will look the same in the new version.
Chapter 2, Section "Mixed mode expressions" The comment to the code snippet makes reference to a variable 'fVariable'. It should say 'dVariable'. The text is correct.
Chapter 2
The '/' was edited out during the printing
process. The phrase "23 truncates to zero", for example, actually should be
"2/3 truncates to zero".
BranchDemo program
The comment header to the BranchDemo program
says "if the first argument is greater than the first...".
It should say "...than the second..."
Table 4-4 in Chapter 4
The label to the table says 'XOR' when it should
say 'OR'. The figure title and the text are correct."
The section "Looping while a condition
is true" in Chapter 5
The text says "This condition could be
if var > 10 or if var1 == var2
..." while it should say "This condition could be
var > 10 or if var1 == var2".
