I taught intro to programming a bunch of years ago.  Finding a 
good book, that is both readable by real beginners and also 
correct is was a big challenge.  It is amazing how many were 
just plain wrong on key details, or how many catered to one 
particular implementation, and cover its errors as standard.

One quick check:  main should return int.  Anything else is 
wrong.  The majority of these books said main returns void.  
This is wrong.  What is correct here is clearly stated in the 
language standard document.  Whether I like it or not is 
irrelevant.

So, yes you should blame your professors, but don't be too 
nasty.  We all make mistakes.
