Re: [Dev-C++] symbol unsure

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Octal specification works fine, but more often hexadecimal is more
intuitive, i.e. "\x40" for '@'.

What was the question about the = operator?

using c strings, = assigns the pointer to a string, to the actual string
contents. Using the std::string data type on the lefthand side, = assigns
a new c string to the c++ object, i.e. calls the operator= method for the
std::string class object.
