Being at work...my selections were a German/English: English/German Dictionary or a U.S. History Textbook, or the phonebook. I chose the textbook:
The slavery debate generally did not reach the Deep South, although some southern slaveholders did have grave misgivings. For Native Americans, the Revolution brought uncertainty. During both the French and Indian War and the Revolution, many Native American communities had either been destroyed or displaced, and the Native American population east of the Mississippi had declined by about 50 percent. Damn...those are some long sentences.
"Because I can't stop worrying about them. "Not that ther can be that many more virgins left in the building - which I happen to be in a position to know. Ever since I swapped the Hershey's Kisses in the candy jar on my desk for individually wrapped Trojans, I've had kids stumbling down to my office at nine in the morning in their PJs - and if you don't think nine in the morning is early by bolege standards, you've never been in college - unapolgetically plucking them from the jar."
That was dangerous stuff. And, before you ask, the book was not mine, but my daughters.
I'm at work. So the closest thing was Effective STL, by Scott Meyers:
This picture is nice, displaying the characteristic offset of a reverse_iterator and its corresponding base iterator that mimics the offset of rbegin() and rend() with respect to begin() and end(), but it doesn't tell you everything you need to know. In particular, it doesn't explain how to use i to perform operations you'd like to perform on ri.
As Item 26 explains, some container member functions accept only iterators as iterator parameters, so if you want to, say, insert a new element at the location identified by ri, you can't do it directly; vector's insert function won't take reverse_iterators.
---whew---
I only put in the different fonts, because I was feeling pedantic.
Vaguely innappropriate book, with amusing results.ghibbitudeAugust 9 2006, 04:26:22 UTC
"What do you want?" squeaked the little porker within. "Why, to eat you, of course!" "No, no!"....
You get the point. A friend loaned me a book called "The Empress's New Lingerie" I wil say that we are all lucky that that fairly innocent section was what was recounted. Had it be, say, page 97, it would have been a whole 'nother story.
However, I enjoy the shameless plug and will have to read the Cate Dermody books although they aren't in my genre.

You can get them with more than one in a wrapper? Are there people that need more than one in a wrapper?
