I've learned it very quickly :-)
Unfortunately I've coded in C++ quicker than I was learning...
Some of my 2 weeks old code is full of
if(x==3) {
instead of
if(3==x) {
then I discovered an warning option on my compiler and then finally
I've put more of attention when I was re-reading Stroustrup book.
