  Third Edition now available! C++ Primer was widely regarded as the most effective introduction to the C++ programming language. The new edition covers C++ as reflected in its latest release, Release 3.0, and the ANSI base document, The Annotated C++ Reference Manual, by Ellis and Stroustrup. As a leading member of the team working on the implementation of Realease 3.0, Lippman provides invaluable insights into the new language features. The most important new addition to the C++ language is the template facility, a feature that facilitates the development of extensive class and algorithmic libraries. Lippman provides comprehensive coverage of this new feature, including a rich variety of examples showing how templates can be used effectively. Features *Includes a new chapter on object-oriented design, using as an example the implementation of a template facility in a C++ compiler. *Covers exception handling, now a formal part of the C++ language. *Discusses the differences betweeen the Realease 2.0 and Release 3.0 language definition. C++ PRIMER, SECOND EDITION is useful both as a learning tool and as a reference to C++. It assumes only an understanding of the basic constructs of a programming language. Experienced programmers will appreciate the comprehensive coverage of language features recently introduced into C++. Visit the ftp site for the book 0201548488B04062001

  C++ Primer, Third Edition, combines the practical experience and writing of Stanley Lippman, and the inside knowledge of the ANSI/ISO Standards Draft from Josee Lajoie. Completely rewritten, this tutorial is driven by examples which help the novice C++ programmer solve problems in terms of choice of language features, implementation, and efficiency. Programming aspects of the language are presented in the context of solving a particular problem or programming task. Language rules are given both to clearly introduce the rule and provide a reference to it. The book covers the new C++ Standard Library, including extensive treatment of what was formerly known as the Standard Template Library (STL), as well as the string and complex class types. It also examines the new language features introduced into the International Standard, such as Exception Handling, Run-Time Type Identification, Namespaces, the built-in bool type, and new-style cast-notation.
