C++ Cookbook - Solutions and Examples for C++ Programmers - E-book - Multi-format

Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is also one of the more complex programming languages to learn. Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process information with amazing efficiency and quickness. TheC++ Cookbookwill make your path to mastery much shorter. This practical, problem-solving guide is ideal if you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++ runs.
The algorithms provided inC++ Cookbookwill jump-start your development by giving you some basic building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own. Less a tutorial than a problem-solver, the book addresses many of the most common problems you're likely encounter--whether you've been programming in C++ for years or you're relatively new to the language. Here are just some of the time-consuming tasks this book contains practical solutions for: - Reading the contents of a directory - Creating a singleton class - Date and time parsing/arithmetic - String and text manipulation - Working with files - Parsing XML - Using the standard containers Typical of O'Reilly's"Cookbook"series, C++ Cookbookis written in a straightforward format, featuring recipes that contain problem statements and code solutions, and apply not to hypothetical situations, but those that you're likely to encounter.
A detailed explanation then follows each recipe in order to show you how and why the solution works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of the"Cookbook"series can attest to. This book will move quickly to the top of your list of essential C++ references.
