Page 50, B.1 2nd para, new text. I really don't like "conversion to a variable". Aren't we just talking about "assignment to a variable"?
Not really -- the word assignment has various meanings; in a 'pure' O-O language "assignment" merely copies a reference to an object (which may or may not contain a number). It doesn't affect the content of the object. mfc
