Comments on: Operators and, or and xor written in English: is this standard C++? http://www.daniel-lemire.com/blog/archives/2006/09/15/operators-and-or-and-xor-written-in-english-is-this-standard-c/ Daniel Lemire's blog is about life in academia, research in Computer Science, wondering how we can reconcile fast databases and algorithms with the informal and asemantic nature of the world around us. It is broadcasted from Montreal (Canada).

This syntax has always been part of ANSI C right from the outset; it also makes no difference which version of VC++ you are using. Just ensure that you start a command-line project, as opposed to a Windows-based project, in VC++. This should include the basic headers for you, and won't bloat your code. Hope this helps.

If Visual C++ doesn't accept them, it's broken. "and" means &&, while & would be "bitand". These are standard in C++.
