-When such a configuration class object is created, its values are initialized with default values.
+The above example shows such a configuration class. When an object of this class is created, some of the values are initialized with default values and then added to the configuration.
 <code cpp>
   TestConfig configFile("config.txt");	// choose an appropriate path

 You can manually create a suitable configuration file at the given location, e.g.
 <code>
 id = 1
 offset = 2.200000
-init values = 0.1, 0.4, 0.3
+initValues = 0.1, 0.4, 0.3
 ip = 127.0.0.0

 or you could save the values of your configuration class object into the file (and possible change an existing content).
