Your Ultimate 'How-To' Guide to C++ Programming!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!Topics include:String HandlingStandard Template Library (STL) Containers AlgorithmsFunction ObjectsBindersNegatorsAdaptorsIteratorsI/OFormatting DataLearn how to:Tokenize a null-terminated stringCreate a search and replace function for stringsImplement subtraction for string objectsUse the vector, deque, and list sequence containersUse the container adaptors stack, queue, and priority_queueUse the map, multimap, set, and multiset associative containersReverse, rotate, and shuffle a sequenceCreate a function objectUse binders, negators, and iterator adaptersRead and write filesUse stream iterators to handle file I/OUse exceptions to handle I/O errorsCreate custom inserters and extractorsFormat date, time, and numeric dataUse facets and the localization libraryOverload the [ ], ( ), and -> operatorsCreate an explicit constructorAnd much, much more
