Thanks John,

So if we don't need to worry about the index there. May be it is a good
idea to get ride of the index in the comments. Since c++ will automatically
number them.

I just found there are several virtual functions in the Elem class mainly
focus on 2nd order element. Why those appear in a general element class?
What should we return for a higher order element? The linear element just
return 0. I'm confused by this design.

virtual unsigned int *n_second_order_adjacent_vertices* (const unsigned
int) const
virtual unsigned short int *second_order_adjacent_vertex* (const unsigned
int n, const unsigned int v) const
virtual std::pair< unsigned short int, unsigned short int > *
second_order_child_vertex* (const unsigned int n) const


Sincerely Yours,

Lei Shi
