Legendary programming author Herb Schildt shares some of his favorite programming techniques in this high-powered C++ “cookbook.” Organized for quick reference, each “recipe” shows how to accomplish a practical programming task. A recipe begins with a list of key ingredients (classes, functions, and headers) followed by step-by-step instructions that show how to assemble them into a complete solution. Detailed discussions explain the how and why behind each step, and a full code example puts the recipe into action. Each recipe ends with a list of options and alternatives that suggest ways to adapt the technique to fit a variety of situations. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced pro, you’ll find recipes that are sure to satisfy your C++ programming appetite!
