C++ In a Nutshell is a comprehensive reference for the C++ language and its runtime library. As a C++ programmer, understanding the subtle aspects of the language is crucial. The C++ standard defines not only the language but also a runtime library that includes containers, iterators, algorithms, strings, exceptions, I/O, and more, which constitutes a significant part of C++'s definition. Mastery of both the language and the library is essential for successful programming in C++. However, memorizing the intricate details of the language and all the library headers, class definitions, and member functions is nearly impossible. This is where C++ In a Nutshell proves invaluable.
The content adheres to the ISO/IEC 14882 standard, including Technical Corrigendum 1. It features Backus-Naur Form syntax diagrams, concise usage information, and clear examples for all C++ statements and keywords. The latter half of the book focuses on the C++ runtime library, organized by header file, detailing functions, macros, classes, and other entities. Whether you need a refresher on declarations, template programming, or key aspects of the runtime library, the reference chapters provide essential information. Think of this book as a "force-magnifier," enhancing your programming effectiveness by offering quick access to definitions and usage for both the standard library and C++ language elements.
