Original post by CondorMan I mentioned some typos a while ago and wondered at that stage if they could be fed back to improve the next edition. I don't know how many of us are here following the weekly threads, but the book is being reviewed systematically so wouldn't it be logical for comments to be passed on? I appreciate that editors may find it difficult to see errors in code, so why not "use" the help that we might be able to offer via this forum? Even if detailed comments weren't fed back, it would be possible to bring this workshop to the attention of the authors and editors so they could go through the comments that have been raised.

Original post by Alphabat Hello all, I've started the workshop 3 days ago and I'm trying to catch up... although it will be a bit hard :). I'm currently finishing chapter 5... and I'm trying to catch up ... Great work on the workshop by the way! If it wasn't for this I wouldn't have started on this quest to learn C++!

Last-in, first out means that whatever is added to the stack last is the first thing taken off. This differs from most queues in which the first in is the first out (like a line at the theater).

Original post by J0Be Hi guys, Just wanted to ask about a part of the text in the book that goes like this: Page. 130 Last paragraph states the following and I quote Quote: Last-in, first out means that whatever is added to the stack last is the first thing taken off. This differs from most queues in which the first in is the first out (like a line at the theater). Shouldn't the queues be first in, last out? Meaning: Stack: First in, First out 'FiFo' Queu: First in, Last out 'FiLo'?

Exercise:5_6 Using the call to a function as an expression? Is that often done or good coding habit?

if ((result = Division(0, 1)) == -1) // <--- this part???

int result = Division(0,1);if(result == -1)

bool Division(double numerator, double denominator, double &result){  if (denominator == 0)  {    return false;  }  result = numerator / denominator;  return true;}int main(){  int answer;  if(Division(-2, 2, answer) )  {    cout << "Answer: " << answer << endl;  }  else  {    cout << "Divide by zero error" << endl;  }}
