Minor fixes","articleBody":"A few related minor issues in Activity 2.5.2.2., [section 2.5.2.](https://runestone.academy/ns/books/published/cpp4python/AtomicData/AtomicData.html#accessing-values-from-pointers):\r\n\r\n1) The question asks what `cout \u003c\u003c *ptrN \u003c\u003c endl;` would print and marks the correct answer as `varPtr: 50`, but that is not technically correct. It would only print `50`. If the intention is to print `varPtr: 50` the statement should be `cout \u003c\u003c \"varPtr: \" \u003c\u003c *ptrN \u003c\u003c endl;`. As it is, option e is actually the (technically) correct one (although marking it as such would make this a bit of a trick question). Also, `varPtr` seems to be an older name of the pointer in the example, should probably be updated to `ptrN` now.\r\n\r\n2) The feedback for answer a is inconsistent with the answer itself, after the value was changed from 100 to 9 in commit https://github.com/pearcej/cpp4python/commit/8ab95eb32145579baafc85ee860784e96d108ab4.\r\n\r\n3) The feedback for answer c is also inconsistent with the answer. Judging the intention by the feedback text, the answer should be updated to be `59`, rather than `150`.\r\n\r\n4) The question itself could be a little clearer about where this extra code should be inserted. Clearly, it needs to be inserted after line 7, for example between lines 7 and 8, rather than \"into line 7-8\", which could mean the same thing but is a little vague.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/PeturOA","@type":"Person","name":"PeturOA"},"datePublished":"2024-01-30T15:46:00.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/198/cpp4python/issues/198"}
