This quick reference is a condensed guide to the essential data
structures, algorithms, and functions provided by the C++17 Standard
Library. It does not explain the C++ language or syntax, but is
accessible to anyone with basic C++ knowledge or programming experience.
Even the most experienced C++ programmer will learn a thing or two from
it and find it a useful memory-aid.
It is hard to remember all the possibilities, details, and intricacies
of the vast and growing Standard Library. This handy reference guide is
therefore indispensable to any C++ programmer. It offers a condensed,
well-structured summary of all essential aspects of the C++ Standard
Library. No page-long, repetitive examples or obscure, rarely used
features. Instead, everything you need to know and watch out for in
practice is outlined in a compact, to-the-point style, interspersed with
practical tips and well-chosen, clarifying examples.
This new edition is updated to include all Standard Library changes in
C++17, including the new vocabulary types std:: string_view, any,
optional, and variant; parallel algorithms; the file system library;
specialized mathematical functions; and more.
