In Chapter 0 of "Accelerated C++" the authors speak of results and side effects. I'm having some difficulty in distinguishing between them.
Also, on page 6 in Chapter 0, under the heading of "Braces and semicolons," there is this sentence. "The expression is optional; omitting its results in a null statement, which has no effect." I do not understand this sentence. Any help that you might provide to clarify my understanding of this will be apprectiated. Chip Auger
