Publisher Description: A fast-paced, thorough introduction to modern C++ revised to cover C++20. C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages. As with the highly-regarded first edition, Lospinoso covers everything from types and functions, to the object life cycle and expressions; the C++ Standard Library and Boost Libraries; utility classes, data structures, and algorithms, and how to manipulate file systems and build high-performance programs that communicate over networks. This thoroughly revised second edition cuts through the weeds to get straight to the core of C++20, the most modern revision of the ISO standard. A new Coroutines chapter introduces a new language feature that lets users express functions that can suspend execution. The Iterator chapter has been replaced with a new chapter called Ranges, the new library that largely replaces iterators in daily programming and allows users to interact with sequences of objects. Lospinoso has also added a Modules chapter which shows how to create and consume library code. Printf has also been replaced with std:: format and there are numerous updates throughout. You'll learn: - Fundamental types, reference types, and user-defined types - The object lifecycle including storage duration, memory management, exceptions, call stacks, and the RAII paradigm - Compile-time polymorphism with templates and run-time polymorphism with virtual classes - Advanced expressions, statements, functions, and coroutines - Smart pointers, data structures, dates and times, numerics, and probability/statistics facilities - Containers, iterators, strings, and algorithms - Streams and files, concurrency, networking, application development, and modules |
