Summary

This is the long awaited second edition of the best-selling guide to Programming in C++. The authors discuss programming issues and develop topics of C++ programming paradigms and their supporting language features in parallel. Their goal is to foster understanding of C++ beyond simple syntax, so that it can be used as a flexible and effective programming tool. Interweaves a presentation of the C++ language features with discussion of the techniques and paradigms for which they were designed. Includes new information on key languages features, such as templates, exception handling, and wide characters.

Features


shows how to program in C++, and is not simply a sterile description of language features.
starts with the data types and operations of the langugage, proceeds through ways of organizing data structures and operations into programs, and concludes with the advanced topics of memory management and library design.
discusses C++ language features together with the programming paradigms they were designed to support.
shows how C++ language features work together.
relates the details of the C++ language to the larger problems of software design and engineering.
encourages thinking in new ways about the process of programming.
includes an entire chapter on inheritance, covering base and derived classes, virtual functions, protected members, and more.
contains a how-to section for creating and customizing libraries.
offers end-of-chapter exercises, and a greatly expanded Appendix of solved exercises.
