C++ The Complete Reference by bestselling genius Herb Schildt covers everything from keywords, syntax, and libraries, to advanced features such as overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, namespaces, templates, and RTTI—plus, a complete description of the Standard Template Library (STL). In C: The Complete Reference, readers will get a general overview of C. Schildt also briefly touches upon compilation of C, the distinction between C and C++, and points of differentiation between compilers and interpreters. The author also provides examples of how C is used, particularly sample codes and topics such as formal, local, and global variables. By presenting an overview of arrays, Schildt helps readers understand one of the most difficult areas to comprehend in the C programming language, pointers.
