Alex I like you’re sense of humor (Line 11 of quiz). It makes readers laugh and if you make any more tutorials then keep the humor up ;)

To the author or anyone who can edit: there are two wrong “it’s” in the first lines of this section!

By the way, awesome tutorial :)

Hi#
but i guess i figured out that number 7 in the quiz is incorrect because there should be a colon not a semi-colon at the end of length = 3
:D

Would #5 also be incorrect because trees is not initialized?

How about acronymns in variable names? Should they be lower case (or lower case following the first character?

In the above tutorial statement extraction: “numberOfCharsIncludingWhitespaceAndPunctuation, which is rather lengthy”, could an acronym be used… “numberOfASCIIChars” (except ASCII may include more than intended)?

Even “numberOfAsciiChars” would be good and follow the suggested convention, but do we violate acronym naming conventions? (Acronyms are often upper case to differentiate them from “real” words.)

Well you stated that an identifier shouldn’t begin with a capital letter right?
On 1.11, the Comprehensive Quiz, your function identifiers were beginning in capital letters.

void WriteNumber(int x)
{
	using namespace std;
	cout << "The answer is " << x << endl;
}

I also did it that way before reaching this part of the tutorial and I didn’t get any compile errors!
