I disagree, and you don't really believe it yourself :)
Earlier you were talking up how your function was convenient
because it saved one line of typing, and here you advocate
creating a library.
Also, please do not snip out too much context, because the OP
clearly states...

=2E..that they haven't even used C (OR) C++ before, and it is in that
context to which I addressed my question.

Richard, you are completely wrong, and there *is no inconsistency*
with my answers. You have a serious problem if no one can ever
question the code you write - You aren't always right you know!
****like you and everybody else passionate about programming****
I put into my answer some of what I *know* to be right, some of what
I believe is right (from what I learnt during my time in UNI), as well
as the experience I have gained on the job thus far.
You are not any different in this regard.

Wrong!
What you fail to understand (or accept) about C++, is that it is a
powerful
language, and it *promotes* the use of OOD and OOP, so when someone
posts
a question about C++, chances are that they are using a class and
writing
an OOP, and chances are that more often than not, then answers
provided
will involve the discussion of OOD.
