%#abstr%
%C,14%ABSTRACT CLASS
A class with at least one pure virtual function.  It is a
class used as a %F,15,GLOSS.B#base%base_class for other classes.
The abstract class represents a concept; classes derived from
it represent implementations of the concept.  You cannot define
an object of a class type if the class is an abstract class.
%#abstdat%
%C,14%ABSTRACTION (DATA)
A data type with a private representation and a public set of
operations.  The C++ language uses the concept of classes to
implement data abstraction.
%#access%
%C,14%ACCESS
Determines whether or not a class member can be used in an
expression or declaration.

%C,14%ACCESS DECLARATION
Used to restore access of base class members.

%C,14%ACCESS RESOLUTION
The process by which the accessibility of a particular class
member is determined.

%C,14%ACCESS SPECIFIERS
One of the C++ keywords:  public, private, and protected.

%C,14%ACCESSIBLE BASE CLASS
A base class is accessible to a particular derived class if all
of its public members are accessible, that is if the base class
public members can be used in member functions of the derived
class.

%C,14%ACTUAL ARGUMENT
The argument that appears in the call to a function.

%C,14%ADDRESS
A name, label, or number identifying a location in storage, a
device in a system or network, or any other data source.

%C,14%AGGREGATE
An array or a class object with no private or protected
members, no constructors, no base classes, and no virtual
functions.

%C,14%ALGORITHM
A step-by-step method of performing a required action.  An
algorithm describes a procedure that can be coded in a computer
programming language.

%C,14%AMBIGUOUS DERIVATION
Derivation is ambiguous if a class is derived from two or more
base classes that have the same name.
%#ANSCII%
%C,14%AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD CODE FOR INFORMATION INTERCHANGE
%C,14%(ASCII)
The code developed by ANSI for information interchange among
data processing systems, data communications systems, and
associated equipment.  The ASCII character set consists of 7-bit
control characters and symbolic characters.
%#amer%
%C,14%AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI)
An organization sponsored by the Computer and Business Equipment
Manufacturers Association through which accredited organizations
create and maintain voluntary industry standards.

%C,14%ANSI
See American National Standards Institute.

%C,14%ANONYMOUS UNION
A union without a class name.  It must not be followed by a
declarator.
%#argument%
%C,14%ARGUMENT
A value passed between a calling routine and a called routine.

%C,14%ARGUMENT DECLARATION
See %F,15,GLOSS.P#parad%parameter_declaration%C,5%.

%C,14%ARGUMENT LIST
The list of objects that is passed to a function.  In a function
call, the argument list appears in the function call operator ().

%C,14%ARITHMETIC OBJECT
An integral object or objects having the type float, double, or
long double.

%C,14%ARRAY
A variable that contains an ordered group of data objects.  All
data items, or elements, in an array have the same data type.

%C,14%ARRAY ELEMENT
A single data item in an
array.

%C,14%ASCII
See %F,15,GLOSS.A#ANSCII%American_National_Standard_Code_for_Information
%F,15,GLOSS.A#ANSCII%Interchange%C,5%.

%C,14%ASSEMBLER LANGUAGE
A symbolic programming language in which the set of instructions
includes the instructions of the machine and whose data structures
correspond directly to the storage and registers of the machine.

%C,14%ASSIGNMENT CONVERSION
A change to the form of the right operand that makes the right
operand have the same data type as the left operand.

%C,14%ASSIGNMENT EXPRESSION
An operation that stores the value of the right operand in the
storage location specified by the left operand.
%#asarray%
%C,14%ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY
An array in which each element is a data structure containing
more than one object.  Contrast with %F,15,GLOSS.P#pararray%parallel_arrays%C,5%.

%C,14%ASSOCIATIVITY
The order for grouping operands with an operator.  Associativity
can be either left-to-right or right-to-left.
%#autoconv%
%C,14%AUTOMATIC CONVERSION
A conversion that the compiler performs automatically without
any specific instruction in the code.  Integral promotions and
arithmetic conversion are kinds of automatic conversions.

%C,14%AUTOMATIC OBJECT
An object of storage class auto.  An automatic object is often
referred to as a local object.  The default %F,15,GLOSS.S#storclsp%storage_class_specifier
for objects declared in a %F,15,GLOSS.B#block%block_statement is auto.
