I would if I could find a competently written interactive C/C++ tutorial. Codecademy has a great one for Python and I wish they'd make one for C/C++ as well.

Perhaps then the OP would be empowered to contribute useful code to the community, to augment her penetrating questions.

Here is the second edition on-line. It is a true classic in computer science.

I learn best by doing, rather than by reading or by watching videos, which is why I've mucked around with sites like http://www.learn-c.org and http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus; unfortunately, both of those tutorials have major flaws.

Drop a field:

[Aa][Bb][Cc]...

Fields remain in the proper places.
Kind of, except that the field order is different. The stream above puts field b before field B; the bottom stream puts B before b. This obviously doesn't matter if B and b were, in fact, from the same original frame and the frames are being displayed progressively.
