Four concrete C++ quirks appear with examples and minimal handwaving: URL as case label shows an HTTP prefix becomes a case name and trailing // turns the rest into a comment; assign to ternary demonstrates the ?: result is an lvalue that can be assigned or used to call methods; 3[a] == a[3] proves array indexing is symmetric and enables odd pointer tricks; pure virtual with body shows a pure virtual can have an implementation that derived classes call.
