NAME¶
cpp-annotations - Frank Brokken’s C++ Annotations
DESCRIPTION¶
The
C++ Annotations offer an extensive tutorial about the
C++
programming language. It can be used as a textbook for
C/C++
programming courses. A translation of this document (included in this package)
is available in Portugese.
This document is intended for knowledgeable users of
C (or any other
language using a
C-like grammar, like
Perl or
Java) who
would like to know more about, or make the transition to,
C++. This
document is the main textbook for Frank’s
C++ programming
courses, which are yearly organized at the University of Groningen, the
Netherlands.
The
C++ Annotations do not cover all aspects of
C++, though. In
particular,
C++’s basic grammar, which is, for all practical
purposes, equal to
C’s grammar, is not covered. For this part of
the
C++ language, the reader should consult other texts, like a book
covering the
C programming language.
The package offers the
C++ Annotations in the following document formats:
- o
- Plain ascii text (cplusplus.txt);
- o
- LaTeX, including a .dvi file (in the subdirectory
latex/);
- o
- PostScript (in the subdirectory ps/);
- o
- Pdf (in the subdirectory pdf/);
- o
- html (in the subdirectory html/); The postscript, pdf and LaTeX
formats were constructed for two different paper-sizes: A4 and legal.
Depending on your installation type, the documents may also appear in compressed
forms (e.g.,
cplusplus.txt.gz, cplusplus.html.zip).
