C ++ language ISO standard in practice

It is worth investing in this book because it has a timeless value, just like the ISO standard on which it is based. It can be recommended as a reference source for C ++. It is worth reading and learning the brief and meaningful theoretical introductions and source texts contained therein as well as discussing the programs. Understanding the basic concepts and mastering the construction of the C ++ language does not require knowledge of any other programming language. If someone wants to get to know and master the object-oriented programming workshop, then the book? C ++ language. ISO standard in practice? it will serve this purpose perfectly. In the texts and discussions of around 200 programs, you can find many tips on pragmatics, ie the possibilities and skills of using different language constructions in the same or different contexts, as well as useful language idioms. The lecture derived from the standard is not subject to temporary mods, related to various programming environments, and thus is independent of the current interests of software tool manufacturers.

The book presents the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the hybrid, procedural-object C ++ programming language. The presented contents are compliant with the ISO standard from 2003. The language constructions discussed in the following chapters are briefly described, but sufficiently precisely. These constructions were attempted to describe not in the form of dry, formalized definitions but semantically richer and better understood non-formal definitions. Reading a book allows learning the C ++ language provided we compile and make (easy to extract from the text) the programs included in it. For program processing, you can use both the command line compiler (eg GNU g ++ in a Unix / Linux environment), and one of the so-called integrated environments (e.g., Borland bc3.1, bc5.01, bcb6, Eclipse, VIDE, Dev-C ++).

The lecture is conducted in a systematic way: from the basic elements and construction of the language accompanied by simple programs, through constructions resulting from the procedural paradigm, ending with specific properties of classes and objects such as inheritance, polymorphism, parameterization of classes and functions, dynamic type identification. It is also worth paying attention to topics discussed in the book covered by the ISO standard, such as handling exceptions, creating functional objects, elements of the STL library and namespaces.
