Page	Details	Date

31	Error in Code Middle of page, ?? or select View->Toolbox??, Toolbox not listed here in VS 2010 unless you put the IDE in 'Expert Settings' mode? Selecting the option for C++ settings initially with paid for editions of Visual Studio 2010 should make all the menu options available for that context, including the Toolbox and I am not aware of an "Expert Settings" option in this context. The free Express Edition of Visual Studio 2010 does have an "Expert Settings" option but the book is not specifically aimed at this version because it the limitations mean that many of the examples in the latter part of the book will not work. In particular, the MFC is not supported.	12/1/2010

185	Error in Text The output should be: number1 = 66 &number1 = 0039FB08 number1 = 990 pnumber = 0039FB0C *pnumber = 99	10/25/11

The numerical value for the string 'fred', for instance is 6323+18322+5321+4320 and, assuming you expected to store 500 strings, you could calculate the hashed value of the key as: 6323+18322+5321+4320 mod 503" These equation '6323+18322+5321+4320' should be expressed in a form like '632^3+1832^2+532^1+432^0' where exponents of 32 are used.	12/14/2010
