The book C++: The Programming Language<\/i>\u00b9 (Waylon Warren, editor) claims to present “the complex subject of C++ in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language.” A rather overdone book blurb, in my opinion.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the book does have an attractive cover, or at least an inoffensive one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But wait, let’s zoom in on the code shown on the computer monitor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
function updatePhotoDescription() {\r\n if (descriptions.length > (page * 9) + (currentImage.substring(\u27e6 blurry \u27e7')) {\r\n document.getElementById(\"bigImageDesc\").innerHTML + \u27e6 blurry \u27e7\r\n }\r\n}\r\n\r\nfunction updateAllImages() {\r\n var i = 1;\r\n while (i < 10) {\r\n var elementId = 'foto' + i;\r\n var elementIdBig = 'bigImage' + i;\r\n if (page * 9 + i - 1 < photos.length) {\r\n document.getElementById( elementId ).src = 'images\/\u27e6 blurry \u27e7\r\n document.getElementById( elementIdBig ).src = 'images\/\u27e6 blurry \u27e7\r\n } else {\r\n document.getElementById( elementId ).src = '';\r\n<\/pre>\nThis isn’t even C++. It’s JavaScript!<\/p>\n
