Why is this a big mistake? I’m not a c++ person
The mistake was that they created a type that behaves like an array in every case except for
bool, for which they created a special magical version that behaves just subtly different enough that it can break things in confusing ways.Could you provide an example?
The biggest problem is that each element doesn't have a unique memory address; iterators aren't just pointers.
