C++ Primer, Fourth Edition has been completely revised and rewritten to conform to today's C++ usage. Students new to C++ will find a clear and practically organized introduction to the language enhanced by numerous pedagogical aids. The fourth edition represents a complete restructuring and revision of the Primer. The authors' motivation in this edition is to teach effective styles of modern C++ programming. To this end, they introduce the Standard Library and generic programming much earlier in the text. Many examples have been reformulated to take advantage of library facilities. Their focus is to show how to use the standard library abstractions rather than the low-level facilities built into the language. They've also streamlined and reordered the presentation of language topics.
