C ++ Programming Language Tutorial

Back Cover text:

More than a quarter of million programmers have benefited from this book in all of its editions.

Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, this is the world's most trusted and widely read book on C++.

For this special hardcover edition, two new appendices on locales and standard library exception safety have been added. The result is complete, authoritative coverage of the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques. Basd on the ANSI/ISO C++ standard, The C++ Programming Language provides current and comprehensive coverage of all C++ language features and standard library components.

For example:

• abstract classes as interfaces
• class hierarchies for object-oriented programming
• templates as the basis for type safe generic software
• exceptions for regular error handling
• namespaces for modularity in large-scale software
• run-time type identification for loosely-coupled systems
• the C subset of C++ for C compatibility and systems-level work
• standard containers and algorithms
• standard strings, I/O streams, and numerics

Bjarne Stroustrup makes C++ even more accessible to those new to the language, while adding advanced information and techniques that even expert C++ programmers will find invaluable.
