on pages 26 and 27 look at line 6 of 'listing 2.2' on page 27 it says that will produce:

The manipulator endl writes a new line to the screen.

however it produces:

The manipulator std::endl writes a new line to the screen.

That what? There's either a typo in there or English is not your first language, in either case it's ok, I just don't know what you are talking about. If you could be a little more clear about what the problem is I'll try to answer you.

hmm, ok.... it says that writing this:

std::cout << "The manipulator std:endl ";

will produce

The manipulator endl

however it produces

The manipulator std::endl

and i think in my own head it is the book writer/publishers mistake... do you get what i mean now?

Darn. They took Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days off of informit.com''s free library. Oh well...

Anyway, I''m betting that''s just a typo. Doubtlessly, a line as

std::cout << "The manipulator std::endl ";

should be pretty straightforward in its effect. I can''t really tell what you''re asking since you''ve been changing your question and messing up your SRops, but I wouldn''t worry about it too much.

SRops means "scope resolution operators," btw. They look like this:

Ok, I get it now. Yeah, that''s a typo in the book. Unless one of the characters in question is a backslash, the part in double quotes after the stream insertion operator will come out exactly as typed.

Thanks thats what i wanted to know , also could you expand on my vocab by telling me what "typo" means!!? :p

A typo is a mistake with typing. If I want to write hello but I write hallo de A is the typo.
