Minor formatting / editing errors were a bit annoying. Just watch out for the tanning and beginning ending curly braces and semicolons. Sometimes 2 statements ending each with semicolons are printed on the same line. Other times the tabbing is odd and when you go line by line, character by character, you realize there is an extra tab, and the else statement is actually an “outer” else statement and not “inner”/“nested” else statement. Minor issues for sure, and certainly invites more diligence on the part of the reader, but can be hair-tearing frustrating at times. (Gah!)

But the projects/assignments at the end of each chapter more than make up for it! So don’t skip those! Happy learning :)
