Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “That’s why the confirm macros we have now are called CONFIRM_TRUE and CONFIRM_FALSE.”

A block of code is set as follows:

TEST("Test bool confirms")
{
    bool result = isNegative(0);
    CONFIRM_FALSE(result);
    result = isNegative(-1);
    CONFIRM_TRUE(result);
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Running 3 tests
---------------

Test with throw can be created
Passed
---------------
Test that never throws can be created
Failed
Expected exception type int was not thrown.
---------------
Tests passed: 2
Tests failed: 1
Program ended with exit code: 1

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “We’ll just change the status from Failed to Expected failure.”
