1. How does having a widely adopted C++ standard help game
programmers?
It helps orphans to create wide-screen games with C++.
2. What are the advantages ans disadvantages of employing the "using"
directive?
Advantage: The "using" directive would be earning a paycheck.
Disadvantage: Someone has to provide funds for the paycheck.
3. Why might you define a new name for an existing type?
If the type stops coming when you call it by its old name.
4. Why are there two versions of the increment operator? What's the
difference between them?
Two is better than one. The difference between them is one.
5. How can you use constants to improve your code?
If your code is constant, then nobody else can
change it while you're not looking.

This is just one more evidence the newest games suck much more than
ever :(
We will never see again the energy, skill and creativity used in the
Activision games made for Atari 2600 like Pitfall or Keystone Kapers
or Pressure Cooker or Frostbite...

You should have provided the marks associated with each question.

Please quit school and never take a job programming. I don't want to
rely on anymore peers that can't do their own work, can't read for
themselves, and don't know how to code beyond ctrl-c and ctrl-v, than
I have to already.

What would be so bad about him NOT quitting, but then changing and
deciding to do his own work? Furthermore, how do you know this is some
sort of homework?

Lol! I think it is pretty obvious. 5 totally unrelated questions easily
covering the contents of a intro course curriculum. I've done enough
homework myself to decern what cut and pasted homework looks like. I've also
tutored enough students to know popular ways to get thier homework done.
I've also had the un-pleasure of working with such people after they've cut
and pasted thier way to a degree. The latter is something I would rather not
ever be responsible for promoting.
Homework aside, the format here show an obvious unwillingness to research
the answers at all before posting. It also was not posted in relation to any
attempt to code, rationalize possible answers, or offer any kind of thought
whatsoever. Such questions do not warrant answers.
Furthermore, how do we know you aren't the OP trying to convice us it isn't
homework ;) Not that it would matter. Like I said, the format warrants no
answers.

This is not my homework. My homework involves programming. These
were the discussion questions in my book, which are not part of my
homework. If they were, I would not post them here. This is a
discussion group on programming in C++ for BEGINNERS. This discussion
was meant for BEGINNER (hence the title). If I knew this would have
so much assumption and backlash attached to it, I would have never
posted it. I was seeking to discuss these things with BEGINNERS. I'm
sorry for posting in the first place.

Actually, for beginners I would recommend alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++.
Also see the FAQ, it was many good entries for beginners and more
experienced people alike: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

Discusion is a two-way street. Asking a question isn't a discussion.
Its not a statement either. If you want a discussion, at least attempt
to expose your thoughts. If thats too difficult for you, then it is
homework.
This newsgroup is not for BEGINNERS.

If you'd use a real name now, and give some better excuses, I might even

This was my actual homework, which wasn't difficult. I find the
discussion questions more difficult.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
int scoreOne, scoreTwo, scoreThree;
int total;
int average;
// getting the information
cout << "If you give me your three scores, I'll tell you how good
you are";
cout << " ...on average.\n\n";
cout << "What's your first score? Type it here: ";
cin >> scoreOne;
cout << "Your first score:" << scoreOne << endl;
cout << "What's your second score? Type that here, too: ";
cin >> scoreTwo;
cout << "Your second score:" << scoreTwo << endl;
cout << "Last, but not least, your third score: ";
cin >> scoreThree;
cout << "Your third score:" << scoreThree << endl;
// displaying results
total = scoreOne + scoreTwo + scoreThree;
cout << "Your score total is " << total << endl;
average = total / 3;
cout << "Your score average is " << average << endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

I can understand, now, why everyone thought that I was posting my
homework and I am sorry if it was inappropriate. I don't think the
level of rudeness to my post was necessary.

Because there are no answers attempted or any attempts to think.
The worst possible act would be to supply solutions.
Obviously, he/she won't bother reading them.

1. The questions don't have anything to do with the subject line
(except for #1).
2. The remaining items, especially 3 and 5 are things that any C++
programmer should know.
