Hayward, CA Lines: 13 I have recently started reading "The Waite Group's C++ programming" and have the following suggestion to the beginning C++ users: Do not believe all the examples - follow your common sense. Some of the examples are bugged and will never work or even compile. Do not rely on this book to provide you with all the information needed to successfuly create C++ code. The book is incomplete and in some places very vague. Why don't authors follow an accepted practice of actually trying to compile their examples before incuding them in the main text?
