The C++ Programming Language

The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition, provides comprehensive reference and tutorial coverage designed to help programmers use C++ effectively. Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of the language, the volume presents an integrated examination of language facilities, abstraction mechanisms, and design practices.

The text addresses core facilities such as types, objects, and computation fundamentals alongside modularity using namespaces, source files, and exception handling. It also examines abstraction mechanisms including classes, class hierarchies, and templates, while exploring the underlying memory model.

Featuring concise pure C++11 code examples and cross-references to the ISO standard, this reference assists programmers moving to C++11 from C++98 or other programming languages.
