540-541 Errors in Text
Error on page 540:
the book states that in cdecl calling convection "The first parameter is pushed onto the stack first, and the last parameter is pushed last."

ALSO

Error on page 541:
it states that "stdcall functions receive parameters in the reverse order compared to cdecl, meaning that the last parameter an stdcall function takes is pushed to the stack first."

CORRECTION:Stdcall takes the parameters in same order as cdecl, pascal is the inverse of cdecl in parameter pushing order.
