If you ignore the optimisation possibilities and look at it purely as info for other programmers -- making it obvious that it should never be necessary to change the values being passed. They are const. If they were strings I would have used "string const &" but a "int const &" costs more than passing by value. So I used "int const" to convey the information that the parameters are not changed -- having already applied the optimisation of passing the ints by value instead of by reference. So IMO, Bullets.h is wrong and Bullets.C is right. Allan. (ARRae)
