Common Mistakes

This text exists because I grew tired of telling people the same things over and over again. Well, basically, that's it. Note that this list may grow in the course of time.

[1] C/C++ is not a language

There is no language called "C/C++". C and C++ are two separate languages and also should be treated as such. I know, it is nit-picky, but I see it put wrong in so many places.

[2] Dev-C++ is no compiler

Yes, you read it. Dev-C++ [1] is not the compiler, it is just the IDE (short for Integrated Development Environment). There is a package that ships bundled with one (MinGW [2]), but that does not make a compiler out of Dev-C++.
