In this concise, self-contained guide, Stroustrup covers most major language features and the major standard-library components—not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++20, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency. The tour ends with a discussion of the design and evolution of C++ and the extensions added for C++20. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide does not aim to teach you how to program (see Stroustrup’s \u003ci\u003eProgramming: Principles and Practice Using C++ \u003c\/i\u003efor that); nor will it be the only resource you’ll need for C++ mastery (see Stroustrup’s \u003ci\u003eThe C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, for that). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you can’t find a shorter or simpler introduction than this tour provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Addison-Wesley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022435303664,"sku":"9780134997834","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780134997834_p0.jpg?v=1763641618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780134997834","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
