Honestly, if that's all that took you to give up on programming, it would not have gone on much longer anyway, especially with something like C++.

- adrianN 7y agoSo what was I supposed to do with no expert on hand and no Internet? I went back to the bookshop and asked there. They didn't know either, so I returned the book. I returned to programming when I learned about Quickbasic. That just worked and had an extensive help system that was suitable for self study.
