Is there an "error page" available for this book?

I'm finding it LOADED with errors.... and as a "newbie" I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

Even things like this:
p293> for (i=0; i<=2; i++)
Should that loop 2x or 3x? (The book says 2x.)

p294> alloc memory... but never release it.
Is that normal?

p294> alloc memory over and over again INSIDE the loop
Do I REALLY want to do that?

You may be on the page for the ebook version. Look for the Other Formats section, and then the paperback link. The paperback page will have a link to the error page. It takes you to another page where you have to download a pdf of the errors.

Error pages should be easier to find. Why not have the errors listed on the site so they'll always be updated? A pdf is immediately out of date of any new changes or discoveries.

Do you have the link to that exact error-page for that book?

I searched everywhere and didn't see it.

(Why does the book even HAVE so many errors in it?

Well, not that I have found so far. HOWEVER, you can email Wei-Meng Lee or visit his website at: http://www.learn2develop.net/
