This is not the place for C++ basics. It's for proposals to help evolve the language.

Also note that you are teaching an outdated style which must not be encouraged. You shouldn't be declaring your loop variables out of the for init statement unless you have a good reason to keep it in scope outside of the loop, you certainly shouldn't be using include <iostream.h> (that has long been deprecated and doesn't even have a mention in the standard), you should use include <iostream> instead. Your indentation also makes the code awkward to read.

It's great that you're putting in an effort to teach people, but please make sure you're teaching properly or you might do more harm than good.

The poster is spamming a wide range of newsgroups and mailing lists.
Don't expect the OP to respond to your post here, or even to read it.
Comments here are just to alert other readers of this list to the problem.

I haven't looked at the site myself, but other people have - it has
nothing to recommend it. The site doesn't even seem to be sure if it is
C or C++ it is trying to teach.

Not to mention, the indentation of his code is horrendous. Although the OP probably has good intent, this is definitely proliferating bad practice.

His "good intent" is to earn money selling courses on C++. There is
nothing wrong with earning money from teaching or making courses - but
there /is/ something wrong with it if you don't know the stuff you are
trying to teach, and have such low quality and bad advice. And there is
certainly something wrong with spamming it on mailing lists and Usenet
groups.

He is clearly spamming, I see a post like this every day for the last few days. He should be banned.
