Don't forget main() returns an int.

Since when does one need a teacher to learn C++?!

I'm living proof of the contrary.

Having a teacher isn't an either/or situation.

I wouldn't stress that one example too much.

However, there's something to be said for learning C++ independently from
textbooks, since some excellent C++ books are widely available and good C++
teachers seem to be in short supply.

Given that you recently threw one on line fit because you couldn't add an
integer to a string and another because you couldn't return a stream by
value, I would say this proof is a little leaky.

Depends on the teacher. With a good teacher(s), you may learn faster and
spend less time for digging in books, manuals and other materials. I missed
that a lot. But I took care to guide other's study in the companies that I
worked.

Definitely agree with you there! While having a teacher (for anything in
life really) will make you learn faster, still there's no need for the
teacher. I've yet to find a book which has a good explanation on why:

int *p_k;

*p_k = 4;

is illegal.

When you find it, tell me :). I'm curious.

Don't understand: Is there no book that tells you that it's illegal?
I'm gonna write one. Title:
"Dereferenc ing an uninitialized pointer is illegal".

Content:
Dereferencing an uninitialized pointer is illegal. Example:
int* p_k; *p_k=4; [1]

References:
[1] JKob in comp.lang.c++, 27.10.2004

Am I gonna be rich?

It should be a missundertandin g :). By illegal I meant that the compiler
doesn't allow me to do it. But I'm allowed to do it. I surely wouldn't do it
:).

Nice. Did it help? Did you learn a lot?

Actually, don't you think that destroys your own argument? You've just
expressed that at one time I didn't know how to append a number in digit
form to a string, and that I didn't know why a stream could not be copied.
Evidently, I posted enquiring about these, and now I know how. Emphasis on
"now I know". Quit living in the past.
