Beschreibung

This quick reference is a condensed guide to the essential data structures, algorithms, and functions provided by the C++17 Standard Library. It does not explain the C++ language or syntax, but is accessible to anyone with basic C++ knowledge or programming experience. Even the most experienced C++ programmer will learn a thing or two from it and find it a useful memory-aid. 

It is hard to remember all the possibilities, details, and intricacies of the vast and growing Standard Library. This handy reference guide is therefore indispensable to any C++ programmer. It offers a condensed, well-structured summary of all essential aspects of the C++ Standard Library. No page-long, repetitive examples or obscure, rarely used features. Instead, everything you need to know and watch out for in practice is outlined in a compact, to-the-point style, interspersed with practical tips and well-chosen, clarifying examples. 

This new edition is updated to include all Standard Library changes in C++17, including the new vocabulary types std::string_view, any, optional, and variant; parallel algorithms; the file system library; specialized mathematical functions; and more.

What You Will Learn

• Gain the essentials that the C++ Standard Library has to offer
• Use containers to efficiently store and retrieve your data
• Inspect and manipulate your data with algorithms 
• See how lambda expressions allow for elegant use of algorithms
• Discover what the standard string class provides and how to use it
• Write localized applications
• Work with file and stream-based I/O
• Prevent memory leaks with smart pointers
• Write safe and efficient multi-threaded code using the threading libraries

Who This Book Is For

All C++ programmers, irrespective of their proficiency with the language or the Standard Library. A secondary audience is developers who are new to C++, but not new to programming, and who want to learn more about the C++ Standard Library in a quick, condensed manner.
