	474	Error in Code In Ex8_09.cpp The problem is with the listnames function. In the book it appears as this: void listnames(string names[], string ages[], size_t count) { size_t i = 0; cout << endl << "The names you entered are: " << endl; while(i<count && !names[i].empty()) cout << names[i] + " aged " + ages[i++] + '.' << endl; } The suggested correction that works is the following: void listnames(string names[], string ages[], size_t count) { size_t i = 0; cout << endl << "The names you entered are: " << endl; while(i<count && !names[i].empty()){ cout << names[i] + " aged " + ages[i] + '.' << endl; i++; } }	06/17/2008
	502	Error in Code The output for Ex8_13 on P502 should be: 275 feet 9 inches 14 feet 6 inches can be cut into 5 pieces 2 feet 6 inches long with 2 feet 0 inches left over. 1 feet 11 inches 2 feet 1 inches 2 feet 1 inches	02/25/09
9	551	Error in Code The CStack class on page 551 should have the following constructor added to the public section of the class: CStack():pTop(0){} The loop in main() for Ex9_13.cpp on page 552 should retrieve items from the stack. The loop could be written: CBox* pTemp(0); while(pTemp = pStack->Pop())br> pTemp->ShowVolume(); It is good practice to delete all objects created on the stack, so there should be the following statement before the return in main(): delete pStack; All objects created on the heap will of course be deleted on execution of the return in any event.	6/26/09
	560	Error in Text "first you create an array of handles to strings" should be: "first you create an array of handles to boxes"	07/06/2008

	620	Error in Code Download The code download for page 620 is different from what it in the book and is in error. In the Person.h file the line: Person& operator=(const Person& p)const Should be: Person& operator=(const Person& p) and the line: bool operator<(const Person& p) Should be: bool operator<(const Person& p) const	03/10/09
	665	Error in Code The last line of the code snippet currently reads: numbers.pushback(*numbersIn++); Instead of "numbersIn" it should read "numbersInput."	05/23/2012
	666	Error in Code The last line of the code snippet at the top of the page currently reads: accumulate(intvecRead, endStream, 0) >> endl; 'intvecRead' should read 'numbersInput' 'endStream' should be 'numbersEnd' This has been corrected for the 2010 edition of this book.	05/23/2012
	731	Error in Code Default constructor (Name::Name) allocates a one-byte array so that the destructor can safely delete[] it. However this is unnecessary provided the default constructor initialises the array members to 0. This is because the delete[] operator will do nothing if the pointer is null (0).	11/22/2010
	761	Error in Figure Figure 12-3 shows the method name GetMessages() but it should be GetMessage()	01/03/10
13	789	Error in Figure 13-7 Figure 13-7 references an SDI application which does not need a child frame. Please see the downloads for this chapter to download the corrected figure.	07/21/08
	817	Typo just below the subtitle "Creating Menu Message Functions": Highlight the CSketchDoc Class should be: Highlight the CSketcherDoc Class	10/03/08

	878	Error in Figure 15-17 Figure 15-17, in the top half, the x-axis label: Negative X-Axis Should be Positive X-Axis	2/10/09
	926, 949, 954	Error in Code In the code on page 949 for OnMouseMove, the first line after the gray text (the call to SetROP2) should not be there. It was moved to inside the if(m_pTempElement) block on page 926.	02/13/09
	946	Typo in Text In the table listing the flags for which button the pop-up tracks (just above the middle of the page), the flags are listed as TPM_LEFTMOUSEBUTTON and TPM_RIGHTMOUSEBUTTON. They should be TPM_LEFTBUTTON and TPM_RIGHTBUTTON.	02/13/09
	954	Typo in Text The first line after the code at the top of the page: ...to the CElements.cpp file... Should be ...to the Elements.cpp file...	02/13/09
	968	Missing Code the Curve class Draw() function is missing some required things in order to draw a curve correctly. Only the book is missing the code. The book reads: virtual void Draw(Graphics^ g) override { Point previous = Point(0, 0); for each(Point p in points) { g->DrawLine(pen, previous, p); previous = p; } } this code works, but the curve is drawn starting off screen because the code to translate the coordinates is missing. The book should read: virtual void Draw(Graphics^ g) override { g->TranslateTransform(safe_cast(position.X), safe_cast<float>(position.Y)); Point previous = Point(0, 0); for each(Point p in points) { g->DrawLine(pen, previous, p); previous = p; } g->ResetTransform(); }	07/23/08
	1037	Error in Book Code The downloadable code and the book differ here; the book version of the The penWidthButton_Click function is incorrect. the book code for the penWidthButton_Click function should read: private: System::Void penWidthButton_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { if(penDialog->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK) { penWidthComboBox->SelectedIndex = safe_cast<int>(penDialog->PenWidth - 1.0f); penWidthComboBox->Invalidate(); } }	07/25/08
	1063	Typos midpage, in the second marked code snippet: typid should be: typeid () AND typinfo should be: typeinfo AND for RTTI to work correctly: typeid(m_pSelected) should be: typeid(*m_pSelected)	09/07/08
