D Unleashed - The Blooper List


Chapter 5 - Playing with Bits and Bytes



Type Page Error Correction
Chapter title 131 The original title of this chapter was "Bits and Pieces" but Macmillan insisted on a change. I prefer the original title. Not a lot we can do, really...
Typographical 133 'When I use the term byte' Should be 'When I use the term byte' - i.e. italicised.
Typographical 134 Table 5.2 column 1 is a mess. Right-justify that column.
Typographical 134 Table 5.3 would benefit from a preceding soft page-break. Add page break before Table 5.3.
Typographical 135 'The only exception is unsigned char' Add monospace font attribute to 'unsigned'
Typographical 136 'performing the operation on int' 'int' should be in a monospace font.
Typographical 139 x Should be X Dave Vandervies
Typographical 151 'A bit-field is defined with one of the type ...' 'type' should be 'types'
Technical 155 function name: 'read_containter' should be 'read_container'
Typographical 159 'as to what operations' replace with 'as to which operations'
Typographical 170-171 Bad indenting Much of the code on these two pages isn't indented at all. Not even a little bit. Dave Vandervies
