- Well, if a programmer cannot answer those questions, he or she is simply not
- a C++ programmer.
-
- It has been 3 years since my C++ class. I have just started on C++
- again for one of my project. Questions 2 and 3 are easy. Question 1 is also
- easy, however, I confess, right at this moment, I don't remember the
- prototype of a copy constructor. I know what it is for though. But in 5
- min I will know everything about the copy constructor, Lippman and
- Stroustrup are just a arm length away. :-))
-
- I guess what you want is someone who is really good in OO methodologies.
- It would not take a person who is already a skilled object-designer too
- long to learn C++.
