Possible Duplicate:
C++ alternative tokens?

I’m working on an assignment in C++ with a friend of mine, and we’ve been doing lots of the coding on his computer/environment (a Macbook Pro with Eclipse). In some of the code he has written conditions using and and or rather than && and ||. The code compiles just fine on his computer, but when I try and compile it on my computer at home (a PC with Visual Studio 2010) I get compiler errors and am forced to switch them. My friend also attests that this syntax has worked using emacs/g++ in a Linux environment.

I had never seen this type of thing before. Is this used widely or supported by most compilers?

    There are a handful of “alternative representations”: and, and_eq, bitand, bitor, compl, not, not_eq, or, or_eq, xor, and xor_eq. They are a standard language feature of C++.

    Visual C++ only supports these as keywords if you compile with the /Za (standards conformance mode) flag.
