About this item
In A Tour of C , Second Edition, Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C , describes what constitutes modern C . This concise, self-contained guide covers most major language features and the major standard-library components - not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started. Stroustrup presents the C features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C 17, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency.
