- ABSTRACT
-
- Stroustrup explores C++ concepts and facilities and presents
- distinctive C++ design and programming styles that have evolved
- to cope with the stringent demands of everyday "real world" systems
- building. First he explores C++'s support for concrete data
- types and containers and gives examples of how the C++ generic
- programming facilities, together with well-designed libraries,
- can yield flexibility and economy of expression. Next Stroustrup
- examines one uses of class hierarchies, touching on issues
- including encapsulation, interface design, efficiency, and
- maintainability. Finally, he reviews the background for
- C++'s success.
