Use  
writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

:'( And I got a package on Friday including (The Restaurant at the End Of the Universe; Life, the Universe, and Everything; So Long, and Thanx for All The Fish; and Mostly Harmless)
A pre-emptive tribute, I guess.
