C++ in a Nutshell

C++ is a powerful, highly flexible, and adaptable programming language that allows software engineers to organize and process information quickly and effectively. This is a complete reference to C++ which is organized first by topic, then followed by an alphabetical reference to the language's keywords, complete with syntax summaries and pointers to the topic references. The library reference is organized by header file, and each library chapter and class declaration presents the classes and types in alphabetical order, for easy lookup. Cross-references link related methods, classes, and other key features. This resource should be useful for students as well as professional programmers. When you're programming, you need answers to questions about language syntax or parameters required by library routines quickly. What, for example, is the C++ syntax to define an alias for a namespace? Just how do you create and use an iterator to work with the contents of a standard library container? This book is a concise desktop reference that answers these questions, putting the full power of this flexible, adaptable (but somewhat difficult to master) language at every C++ programmer's fingerti

Ray Lischner has been using C++ for more than a decade. He worked at Mentor Graphics when it was the first company to adopt C++ for a major commercial project. Since the early days, he has witnessed and participated in the advance of the cfront translator to native compilers to integrated development environments, and now to visual, component-based tools. Ray has taught C++ at Oregon State University, in an introductory CS course and in a more advanced programming projects course. He is the author of O'Reilly's Delphi in a Nutshell and other books. His most recent writing project was for Borland C++ Builder.
