| 49 | Error in Text This occurs in the first sentence of the first paragraph below the first gray-highlighted code in the Whitespace section: Original Text: "There must be at least one whitespace character (usually a space) between int and fruit for the compiler to be able to distinguish them but if you add more whitespace characters they will be ignore." ignore should be: ignored |

| 62 | Error in Example enum State : bool { On = true, Off}; should be: enum State : bool {On=true, Off=false}; The original fragment used to compile but the compiler was ultimately modified to enforce the rule that enumerators in an enum of type bool must all be explicitly initialized. C++/CLI enums of other explicit types do not need to be initialized explicitly, although they can be. The section referred to looks as though it got left in by mistake; There is a section on enums for C++/CLI later in the chapter. It still doesn't say that bool enums must have explicit values, but it should. |

| 77, 84, ... | Error in Text The bitwise OR should be " | " rather than the " > ". Also, the >> operator appearing below the line containing && should be the || operator. |

| 5 | 253 | Error in Example In the example Ex5_10.cpp: the first argument is missing from the sum() function call in each of the two statements in the main() function. The statements should be: cout << sum(6, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) << endl; cout << sum(9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 66, 99) << endl; AND The output shown following the example is also incorrect. It should be: 42 473 Press any key to continue . . . |
6/05/06 | |
| 253 | Error in Code The code reads: cout << sum(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) << endl; cout<<sum(11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66. 77, 66, 99) <<endl; In both cases the count of the number of arguments was left out. The result of running the code is also incorrect. By inspection one can tell that the sum of 2, 4. 6, 8, ... > 10! The code that I downloaded from the Wrox site for this example contains the same error so the results are really weird. The first line of the code should read: cout << sum(6, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) << endl; The first digit being the number of arguments passed. The first digit in the next line should be 9 followed by the digits presently shown. *PLEASE NOTE: the Ex5-10.cpp file in the code download was updated on 6/26/08. Thanks! |

| 467, 469 | Error in Functions The definition of the increment operator function for the Length class on P 467 and on P469 is not correct. On both pages it should be: // Pre- and postfix increment operator static Length^ operator++(Length^ len) { Length^ temp = gcnew Length(len->feet, len->inches); ++temp->inches; temp->feet += temp->inches/temp->inchesPerFoot; temp->inches %= temp->inchesPerFoot; return temp; } The argument passed to the overload increment or decrement operator function should never be modified within the function in C++/CLI code. It would be useful to output the final version of len4 in the example 8_10 by adding the statement: Console::WriteLine(len4); // Final value of len4 The output would then 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 0 inches 2 feet 0 inches 2 feet 1 inches Press any key to continue . . . |
