这本经典C++教程**结合了C++大师 Stanley B. Lippman 的实践经验和C++标准委员会原负责人Josée Lajoie 对于 ANSI/ISO 标准的深入理解，准确而全面地讲述了标准 C++ 的特性和用法。书中大量来自实战的编程示例对C++的初学者**参考价值，不仅演示了泛型程序和面向对象程序的设计方法、模板的使用，还阐述了使用标准C++进行程序设计的其他方面。而对各种技术细节的全面覆盖和深入探讨，更使本书成为中**程序员不可或缺的参考书。
本书特色：
• 从实用的角度出发，清晰地讲解了标准库，并辅以丰富的例子，**强调容器、迭代器、泛型算法、 string 类和 iostream 。
• 详细讨论了标准 C++ 的新特性，包括异常处理、运行时类型识别、名字空间、内置布尔类型和新的类型强制转换表示方式等，并说明了如何有效地使用这些特性。
• 全面介绍了 C++ 语言的**特性，例如模板、类、继承机制，以支持泛型程序设计、面向对象程序设计和基于对象程序设计。
• 特别提供了一个附录，可作为泛型算法快速参考，讲述了这些算法的行为，并提供了为这些算法的具体使用示例。
