This manual covers every aspect of the C++ programming language, from classes to object-oriented programming features and inheritance, to non-object-oriented and optional features. It focuses on standard C++, which is implemented in Borland C++, C++ Builder, Turbo C++, Visual C++, Symantec C++ and C++ compilers from most other vendors. The author flags those instances when something is specific to either the Borland or Microsoft products. The manual is accompanied by a CD-ROM that contains the sample code and programming syntax from the book.
