Assigning reference to variables..

[fAbs]

hi, when I do:
someclass &someobject = someotherobject ;

it asigns the reference of someotherobject to the variable 'someobject' that
you just declared. SO that basically
someobject and someotherobject are really the same variable with two names.

but if I do:

someclass someobject;
&someobject = someotherobject ;

it no longer works D:
does anyone know how to get it to work in the second case?

At least we can take heart in the fact that only about half the people on
earth are of below average intelligence!

(think about it...)

It depends on how you calculate the average intelligence and on the spread
of intelligence among people.

Take a set of numbers 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 8 100. The
"mathematic al expectation" (the sum divided by the count) is going to be
126/14, or 9, and 13 out of 14 numbers (92.9%) would be below that average.

Think about it...

P.S. Wouldn't it be nice to be the 100 in that list?

Well, just like on TV, I define "average" in the way that suits my point
best! In this case, "median" instead of "mean". :-)

That would only be true if the "average" you use is the median instead
of the (much more common) arithmetic mean. A mean can be heavily
affected by a small group at an extreme (a typical example of this is
average income -- a few extremely rich people raise mean _well_ above
the median).

Depends on how you define average. When you factor intelligence like
mine into the mean, probably about 99% of the people are of below
average intelligence.

Yep. That 99% is also called "the modest people". ;-)

IMO the stupidity I talk about and intelligence they measure has nothing to
do with each other. IQ does not measure quality or method of the solution
one gives to a problem. It only finds out if that problem was solved.
People using void main in an environment not decent enough to warn about it
have solved the problem. They might be shortsighted and not give a damn
about the information that void main is not legal. And that might even help
them while making an IQ test. They never get distracted by anything.
Morals or consequences are beyond them. Look at our late troll.

That's not a very good way to learn C++. Frankly, most C++ teachers
don't know the language well enough to be teaching it (but they usually
believe they do). A good book is about the best way.

Ahem. I teach C++ AND I know it well enough to be teaching it.

<snip>

Then I wasn't talking about you. ;)

Seriously, I think it's safe to say that most teachers' C++ lecture
notes are riddled with errors, and not a good way to learn the language.
Maybe I'm wrong (about C++ teachers in general), but I don't think I am,
based on how many C++ programmers I've come across who know a language
bearing some similarities to C++, but being fundamentally a completely
different language. These same programmers are often the ones who are
quite certain that C++ is what they say it is, and will hold onto this
belief even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

In a Hungarian University they had the following name for a program:
cprog01.cpp. The program was supposed to be a C program. The first header
it loaded was conio.h. It was full of variable declarations in the middle
of compound statements. When I have made the students to point out all the
errors in the code the teacher started to rant and accused them to attack
him, because he was a refugee... The Brave New World...
