I. Arrays:
==========

(1)  Definition of an array:  a *data structure* which stores *related
items* *contiguously* in memory.

(2) Why do you have to declare the  size of a (statically-initialized)
array at  compile time? Virtual program memory  (and what happens with
each function call) etc.

(3) What is  a function signature?  ANS:  A function's signature  is a
combination    of the functions'  return   type,  functions' name, the
number, order, and types of its parameters;  as well as any qualifiers
that can be applied to the function.

II. More filestream processing examples.
========================================

(1)  REPEAT AFTER  ME: ifstream *CLASS*  and  infile *OBJECT*.  In the
examples  we   did in  class  (readNames*.cc),  the  object  infile is
operated  upon   when  you   extract  from  a  file   stream  in  C++;
correspondingly,  you use  the FUNCTION  fscanf()  to read from a file
pointer  in  C. DONT  CONFUSE THE TWO   APPROACHES,  AND RECOGNIZE THE
DIFFERENCE.

(2) readNames.cc: issues with infile >> name;

(3) Now... suppose we wanted  to print all  of  the names that are  of
maximum length.

For example, in the file, there are three names of length 15 (counting
the space.)  No names are longer in this list.

The suggestion is to  go through the   names twice; the first time  we
find the  length of  the  longest name; the second   time we print all
names that match.

readNames5.cc will do just that...

IV. A debugging tip.
=====================

If you get the error message:

"readNames.cc",  line 35: Error:  Taking address of the bound function
std::ios::eof() const.

If you get this error,  it typically means that  you making a function
call but forgot the ().

RECALL THAT  eof()  is bound in scope  to  ifstream objects, and  is a
ifstream-specific function, so  you should bind the  appropriate scope
to the  object before calling  it!! And, yes, eof  is a function which
takes no parameters, so, the right way to call it is infile.eof().

E.g. 
  
WRONG:    while (!infile.eof)
CORRECT:  while (!infile.eof() )

The fact that eof() ends in parentheses means that it is a function call

The fact that I have infile.eof()

  The infile. part means that eof is a "member function" of the
  class to which infile belongs.


An emacs tip... to find the "end of the file" use  escape >

To jump to the start of the file, use escape <
