The College Board's Advanced Placement curriculum for computer science (highschool) recently switched from using C++ to using Java. I don't know whether that's because it is a more ideal language to teach (as I would imagine), or because someone thought that Java might outlive C++. Total derailment -- just thought I'd chime in.
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything"
-Mark Twain
Die thread die!!!
<gunshot> and the thread lies motionless.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
