No funny things this time, but something for everybody who knows C++. Somebody (not me) changed this line to This is not made up, but a real code change, a little bit simplified. The intention is to find ‘x' everywhere in the string, not only at the first position. str is a std::string. Why does this change not work as expected? Tags: 4 comment(s) so far...
Re: Quiz I would check for != -1 to figure if the string was found, but I can't tell why >= 0 wouldn't work.

Re: Quiz You're right. Your check would work. But I'll wait a little bit to see if someone else finds the solution before I post the answer :-)

Re: Quiz Ok, probably nobody reads this anyway, so I'll no longer wait :-) std::basic_string::find() returns a size_type which is an unsigned int. Therefore every possible value you might get from find() is greater or equal zero. The if statement will never be false, even in the case when 'x' is not found.
