- Walter (1/1) Feb 05 2004 Thanks for the fixes. -Walter
1. Various spelling mistakes. Multiple instances of "arbitrarilly", "heirarchy" and others that a spellchecker'll easily pick up. 2. ctod.html An all-too-common word confusion. "Taking the modulus of a floating point number" - this is done using fabs or fabsf in C. What the page describes is not taking the modulus of anything, let alone the modulus of _a_ floating point number. x % y is correctly called "the remainder after dividing x by y" or "the residue modulo y of x". Maybe "the remainder after division of floating point numbers" would be the best wording. 3. dcompiler.html#general Bug list is a bit out of date. Getter/setter functions work for me, not sure about the other bugs mentioned here at the mo. 4. float.html Stub text has been left in, like "[blah, blah, blah]" and "[insert table here]", instead of whatever was meant to be there. 5. phobos.html "char* toCharz(char[] string)" Last time I looked, toCharz was deprecated. I had to look at the std.string source to find the real function to use, toStringz. I'm sure I found others, but unless they've been fixed already I can't seem to find them at the moment.

Oh come on give Walter some slack, as if he hasnt already got enough to do :) In article <bvr8be$1pik$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Stewart Gordon says...1. Various spelling mistakes.

The more eyes proofing for errors, the better it will get. I hated it back in neanderthal times when I couldn't go back and fix the printed manual <g>.

I'm not a strong speller, so I didn't notice any of these until you mentioned this. A made a list of some that I found by converting the latest PDF into text and openning it in OpenOffice (I had to wade through a lot of false-positives to get this list). I checked them against my favorite dictionary: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (Tenth Edition). arbitrarilly => arbitrarily dstyle.html, errors.html, garbage.html, lex.html, portability.html, pretod.html heirarchy => hierarchy: class.html, cppdbc.html, function.html, overview.html, phobos.html easilly => easily: changelog.html, ctod.html, htomodule.html, lex.html, model.html, overview.html compatiblity => compatibility: attribute.html, overview.html Similary => Similarly: overview.html inadvertantly => inadvertently: overview.html, statement.html evaluationg => ?: statement.html pointerss => pointers: function.html readilly => readily: lex.html absense => absence: property.html, struct.html concatenting => concatenating: arrays.html transfering => transferring: arrays.html approprate => appropriate: arrays.html necessarilly => necessarily: arrays.html, memory.html unnecessarilly => unnecessarily: memory.html interchangable => interchangeable: function.html, version.html identifer => identifier: lex.html, template.html, version.html collecters => collectors: garbage.html environemnt => environment: dcompiler.html analyser (is the British variant intended, or did you want analyzer?) lex.html Hmmm. I'll bet a missed one or two. -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/
