How important is understanding the coding behind sorts? @AndrewMartin: Quite the opposite. As the answer states, there's generally never a need to write them. They exist in libraries already, or the libraries you're using already sort the data if needed. It's a very low-level thing. And if you did find your self in a place to need to write one, who cares if you can magically write the best version off the top of your head? I doubt anyone could. Just look it up. |

Does auto make C++ code harder to understand? @paul23: What does using auto versus the type gain you, then, if your only objection is "I don't know how to use this". Either makes you look it up anyway. |

Real programmers use debuggers? "one can never prove that a program is correct" That's not true. |

Downloadable Game vs Non-Downloadable @MMavipc: I see, that's awkwardly phrased to me. :) How about: "Might be a little slower. If JIT is not used, it would be a lot slower."? |

Downloadable Game vs Non-Downloadable "May be a little slower unless JIT compiling is not used, then it would be a lot slower" Seems extremely backwards to me. JIT is what makes Java faster than C++ in many cases. |

Real-world scenarios for protected methods Why -1? This is the first thing I thought of. |

Why do we have postfix increment? @Cody: It's the former. (That said I'm in the rare group that's totally fine with breaking code with huge changes, if it means better code, but that's a separate issue.) |

Why do we have postfix increment? @Cody: Because some things are both confusing and useful. He isn't confused by post-increment itself, he's confused about it's usefulness. We shouldn't have things that are useless, confusing or not. |
