C++ for C Programmers

Provides an easy, quick, and seamless transition to C++ programming for the programmer who is already competent in C. Both a tutorial and reference, this short handbook demonstrates C++ as a powerful extension of C and uses frequent comparisons of the two languages to build the programmer's C++ vocabulary. All examples and applications in this edition are written in the proposed ANSI C++ standard.
