By the end of today, I shall be an expert C++ programmer.
Current level of C++ expertise: zero. That’s a fair old climb.
Update: [Ten-and-a-half hours later] I’ve decided to loosen my definition of “expert” to mean “someone who can write a programme that takes two user-input numbers and tells you which one is the bigger number”. I am thus now an expert.

When you have achieved the dizzying heights of Expert C++ Programmer, just remember all us little people who knew you when.

Presumably a “C++ Primer” shows you how to write a program to calculate all the prime numbers between 0 and infinity. Cool.

Re #2: That’s right. It says all you need are a few lines of code and an infinite period of time—sounds like a doddle. In fact, I can already see a way of making it more efficient: I can start it from 2 instead of from 0.

Inspired. But then, you do know a lot more about this maths stuff than I do.

Well, there you go, you now know as much C++ as me and I’m a professional games programmer :)
