    You will understand the value of your code to me when I tell you that I 
have eight books on C++, the manuals for Turbo C++ 1.00 and 3.00 and ten 
books on C and NONE of them uses this kind of elementary arithmetic example 
to teach the basic approach to C++.

   My Borland compiler choked on the line below (the only place your code 
where it flagged an error.
 >       return static_cast(Num1) / Num2;
   }
    So I changed it to
        return (float)(Num1) / Num2;
    And the compilation sailed right through.  My IDE help did not identify 
"static_cast" as a keyword or recognize  yet you spoke of this 
expression as though it were C++ terminology.
    If, instead, your intention was simply to call my attention to it in 
order for ME to substitute the correct terminology then happily, I did so.  
Am I correct in assessing your intent here?
    It isn't THAT important right now anyhow.  Thanks to you I now have a 
good pattern.  Thanks.
                            Sincerely,
                                            Frank
