Additional Resources

Various C++ programming resources from the labs/tutorials page are here
For the curious, here is the C++ source for finding the ranges of float values representable with the different float types.
The C++ Annotations : a little bit advanced for our goals, but may contain useful examples that could answer your questions.
Online references on C++ and library functions.

Some fun stuff

Check out this C source code . See if you can figure out what it does from the source, then compile it with (gcc -o 12 12.c) and run it. Since it is a C program and not a C++ program, you must compile with command gcc.
