Thread: Returning an integer ... not returning; weird error

I picked up copies of C++ Primer and Accelerated C++. Both books have had some interesting reviews on Amazon although C++Primer has many bad reviews but it is the book I am using now. I am not sure of of the authors use of

Code:

std::cout * "TextTextTextTextTextTextText" * std::endl;

I could not find the operator '*' for iostream anywhere and I only know "get from" >> and "put to" <<

I will state the recommended books on this forum are there for a reason and I endorse many as an owner. I hate the C->C++.Learning_Approach and in C++Primer I am already covering vectors which would not be touched on until like chapter 12 in Prata's C++ Primer Plus ... I am happy now and seem less like a bafoon.

** C++Primer gets into classes by chapter two ... amazing. I am still out on a which is best if coming from Java and C to C++ but looks good.

I do owe you an apology AndrewHunter because you were right in your insistence that if I program in C++ I should program C++. Thank you.

There is no overloaded operator * for std::cout, since it would not make any sense.
(How do you multiply a stream and a string?)

The book seems to have had additional bad feedback:

I recommend you get rid of that book.
I cannot understand what the author is trying to convey, and that seems to be a general statement about the book.
