beginner's c++Appeared in:
15-4I hope you do not have very many expectations for a small format (11cm by
17.5 cm) 130 page book. C++ is a big language so I would have hoped that
the author would have carefully researched what it is that a typical user
would want to be able to look up. I would also have expected consistency
of presentation. For example why does he not give the specified minimum
range for the various integer types? Why does he mix decimal values with
hexadecimal? Why does he provide information about C-style strings but
nothing about C++
std::string?
This book is not useless but it could have been very much more useful had it been written with more research and more attention to detail.
