A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on

> leash, handed it to the customer, saying, "That'll be £5000."

> The customer paid and walked out with his monkey. Startled, the tourist

> Most

> shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast,
> tight code, no bugs, well worth the money."

> The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. "That one's even more
> expensive! £10,000! What does it do?" "Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it

> a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of its own.

> The price tag around its neck read £50,000. He gasped to the
