Accelerated C++

After a tour of basic C++, the book looks at more advanced C++ features, such as templates, including built-in support for containers. Besides tapping the strength of Standard C++, you also will learn to design with your own templates. All examples make use of the command line and console (without GUI programs), but the advantage is that this code should run on any of today's operating systems and compilers. Later sections cover the basics of class design, which include good coverage of operator overloading and inheritance. Topics covered include: Introduction to C++; Console I/O with stream classes; Basic string handling; Loop and flow-control statements; Arrays; functions; methods; Standard Template Library; Iterators; Sorting and generic functions; Basic class design; Pointers and arrays; File I/O; Memory management including statically and dynamically allocated memory; Stream support; Conversion operators; Operator Overloading; and much more.
