A Crash Cour se
in C++
The goal of this chapter is to cover briefly the most important parts of C++ so that you have a base
of knowledge before embarking on the rest of the book. This chapter is not a comprehensive lesson
in the C++ programming language. The very basic points (like what a program is and the differ-

union
is? how
about the
volatile
keyword?) are also omitted. Certain parts of the C language that are less rele-
vant in C++ are also left out, as are parts of C++ that get in-depth coverage in later chapters.
This chapter aims to cover the parts of C++ that programmers encounter on a daily basis. If you’ve
been away from C++ for a while and you’ve forgotten the syntax for a

you’ll learn that here as well.

If you already have significant experience with C++, skim this chapter to make sure that there
aren’t any fundamental parts of the language on which you need to brush up. If you’re new to
C++, take the time to read this chapter carefully and make sure that you understand the examples.
If you need additional introductory information, consult the titles listed in Appendix B.

The Basics of C++
The C++ language is often viewed as a “better C” or a “superset of C.” Many of the annoyances
or rough edges of the C language were addressed when C++ was designed. Because C++ is based
on C, much of the syntax you’ll see in this section will look familiar to you if are an experienced
C programmer. The two languages certainly have their differences, though. As evidence, The C++
Programming Language by C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup weighs in at 911 pages, while Kernighan
and Ritchie’s The C Programming Language is a scant 274 pages. So if you’re a C programmer, be on
the lookout for new or unfamiliar syntax!
