Smaller Differences
-  C++ notation can be more terse and less verbose than Racket. 
 -  C++ arithmetic expressions use infix rather than prefix
     form. 
 -  The minus sign "-" cannot be used to hyphenate names, as in
     my-list, since it will be taken as a subtraction.  Instead, C++
     would use my_list or myList.
 -  C++ structures programs using curly braces { ... }, which can be
     nested.
