No, this is where *you* get trapped by not accepting that terms can have different meanings in different fields. C++ functions are not mathematical functions. They're subroutines that may or may not return values, that may or may not have side effects, and so on. And the concept is defined clearly and unambiguously by the standard. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com Working, but not speaking, for XCOM Labs void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */ |
