If '9.8 * metres / (second*second)' is a valid expression, then 'metres/(second*second)' must also be a valid expression. What is the result of the latter?
Is it a legal expression? It's plausible that it doesn't know the desired representation type (double, float, etc). Assuming it is, however, it must be the multiplicative identity: 1 * metres/(second*second) On 3/31/07, Paul A Bristow <pbristow@hetp.u-net.com> wrote:
Ideally we'd have more 'squiggles' for more operators, but the ASCII char set doesn't permit this - C++ has used them all already.
Well, there's still @, $, and `, no? Not that any of those would be better ;) ~ Scott McMurray
