Begins with the basic principles of the C++ programming language and systematically introduces increasingly advanced topics while illustrating the OOP methodology. This work contains chapters each of which reflects the ANSI C++ standard and the examples mirror the practices and standards.

Presents a catalog of simple solutions to commonly occurring design problems. These 23 patterns allow designers to create more reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are, and how they can help you design object-oriented software.

Providing information on C++'s Standard Template Library, this book shows you how to use it. It includes: advice on choosing among standard STL containers, nonstandard STL containers, and non-STL containers; techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it; insights into the behavior of iterators; and more.

Presents 35 ways to improve your programs and designs. This work explains how to write software that is more effective. It contains methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time/space costs of C++ language features; descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts; and more.

The C++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that extend the core C++ language. This book provides comprehensive documentation of each library component and also offers explanations of complex concepts, describes the practical programming details needed for effective use, and gives example after example of working code.

This title covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode.
