I think that's what really bothers me about it, the examples we do in class
are like the most simple clear examples you could come up with, then
sometimes for homework or sometimes for a test she comes up with this
whacko stuff. If she were a shop teacher, for a question about attaching
wire lugs I'm convinced she would have us build a generator..

One of the other questions on the test was supposed to cover using a
reference variable

int& val=2

except the question said something to the effect of write a void class
called sort and using a reference variable pass it an array, sort the
array, then in main() create code to display it. I'd never even seen an
example of how to do the & thing with an array before.. so I guessed
until it compiled. I hope a simple bubble sort was good enough..

Oh and I posted the exact word for word question as it appeared on the test
for the template class question.
