Bug Report PageBug Report PageOn the copyright page (facing the first page of the Preface), there is a
printing history of the book. The printing history is a row of numbers that
-- at the first printing -- looks like this:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
At each subsequent printing, one number is removed from the end of this row
of numbers to indicate which printing of the book you have. For example, the
last number in the row of numbers in the second printing is 2
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
In the third printing, the last number is 3, and so on.
In the errata below, we indicate the edition in which the error has been fixed inside square brackets such as [3].
For example, suppose you have the third printing. Then you can ignore all reports that are prefixed with [3] or [2]. But you would want to pay attention to all reports that are prefixed with [4] or higher or that have no bracketed prefix at all.

Change "The designers of C were not as
competent in language design. Either they did not know about the construction
or they did not appreciate its benefits. Instead, they
imitated . . . " to "Unfortunately, the designers of C
chose to imitate . . . "
[Here is some historical background: C was the successor to B, and B
was inspired by BCPL. BCPL had an
if . . . do construct, analogous to Algol's
if . . . then. B uses the Fortran-like
if ( . . . ) instead. B was the invention of
Ken Thompson, a demigod and thus beyond criticism by mere mortals :-) He
obviously knew of the Algol construct but preferred the Fortran version. He
also changed the Algol-style assignment operator := to the
Fortran-style = operator, a controversial decision according to
Dennis Ritchie.]

Change "This is because integers are
represented using 16 bits, . . . a range from
–2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647." to "This happens when integers
are represented using 16 bits, allowing for 216 or 65536,
different values. Half of the values (from –1 to –32,768 are
negative. There is one less positive value because 0 also needs to be
represented.) However, most comonly, integers are represented using 32
bits. Then the inttype has a range from
–2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647."

Before the paragraph starting with "Unlike a
vector, an array can never change size", add the following paragraph. (This
notation is used in Chapter 10.)
Unlike a vector, an array can be filled with values when it is defined. For
example,
double salaries[] = { 31000, 24000,
55000, 82000, 49000,
42000, 35000, 66000, 91000, 60000 };
When you supply initialization values, you don't need to specify the array size. The compiler determines the size by counting the values.

Remove the first paragraph: "Finally, the
standard cin and cout
classes . . . derived from ostream". (The
standard now specifies that cin and cout are
instances of istream and ostream, and the
with_assign classes no longer exist.)

Change "This particular number is not actually
a Social Security number belonging to any person. It was printed on sample
cards that were inserted in wallets in the 1940s and 1950s" to "This
particular number was printed on sample cards that were inserted in wallets.
It actually was the social security number of the secretary of a vice
president at the wallet manufacturer. When thousands of people used it as
their own, the number was voided, and the secretary received a new
number."

With newer versions of wxWidgets, the frame should never be initialized in the constructor. It should always be initialized in OnInit:
bool BasicApp::OnInit()
{
frame = new wxFrame(NULL, -1, "My First GUI Program");
frame->Show(true);
return true;
}
