C++ code

Anyone who knows enough C++ to understand that code probably doesn't need it to be here. In any case, I don't think it is Wikipedia's place to provide code samples -- it is an encyclopedia. It would be better if how it worked was actually explained clearly, rather than via code, in my opinion. --Fastfission 04:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
