The new C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, has reorganized, extended, and completely rewritten his definitive reference and tutorial for programmers who want to use C++ most effectively.
The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, delivers meticulous, richly explained, and integrated coverage of the entire language―its facilities, abstraction mechanisms, standard libraries, and key design techniques. Throughout, Stroustrup presents concise, “pure C++11” examples, which have been carefully crafted to clarify both usage and program design. To promote deeper understanding, the author provides extensive cross-references, both within the book and to the ISO standard.
New C++11 coverage includes
Support for concurrency Regular expressions, resource management pointers, random numbers, and improved containers General and uniform initialization, simplified for-statements, move semantics, and Unicode support Lambdas, general constant expressions, control over class defaults, variadic templates, template aliases, and user-defined literals Compatibility issues
Topics addressed in this comprehensive book include
Basic facilities: type, object, scope, storage, computation fundamentals, and more Modularity, as supported by namespaces, source files, and exception handling C++ abstraction, including classes, class hierarchies, and templates in support of a synthesis of traditional programming, object-oriented programming, and generic programming Standard Library: containers, algorithms, iterators, utilities, strings, stream I/O, locales, numerics, and more The C++ basic memory model, in depth
This fourth edition makes C++11 thoroughly accessible to programmers moving from C++98 or other languages, while introducing insights and techniques that even cutting-edge C++11 programmers will find indispensable.
This is a hardcover version of the Fourth Edition. Content in this hardcover and the paperback version is identical.
This book features an enhanced, layflat binding, which allows the book to stay open more easily when placed on a flat surface. This special binding method―noticeable by a small space inside the spine―also increases durability.
From the Publisher
New edition of Bjarne’s Stroustrup’s “A Tour of C++” now available
This third edition covers many features that are new in C++20 as implemented by major C++ suppliers, including modules, concepts, coroutines, and ranges. It even introduces some library components in current use that are not scheduled for inclusion in the standard until C++23.

Who is this for
Programmers experienced with another language that want to learn C++20. Those with backgrounds in the sciences that want to learn C++20, regardless of programming experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. Those with little or no programming experience.
Approach
Hands-on instruction, including 200+, real-world examples to help you quickly master C++20, its “Big Four” features (Ranges, Concepts, Modules and Coroutines), and idioms using popular compilers. Drawing on extensive experience teaching C++ to physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and students, this intensive introduction guides you smoothly to sophisticated approaches based on advanced features. Identifies 30 Core Guidelines you’ll find especially valuable and offers detailed practical knowledge for improving your C++ style through useful conceptual insights and expert sample code. Condenses the C++ Core Guidelines to their essence, removing esoterica, sharing new insights and context, and presenting well-tested examples to help you write more elegant C++ programs and improve legacy code. Distills the C++ community’s years of experience applying C++11 and C++14 features to help you make effective and safe design decisions that reflect real-world, economic engineering tradeoffs in large-scale, diverse software development environments. This complete tutorial will help you quickly master the basics of object-oriented programming and teach you advanced C++ language features and concepts.
