function and class templates, exception throwing, function overloading,
functions with default arguments, C++ style input/output, C++ style
run-time allocation, iostream libary.
Each theoretical concept in the book is illustrated by a runable
example. Many examples have been tried on at least two compilers to insure
the most portability of the code and generality of concepts. The book is
based on ANSI (ISO) Standards for C and ANSI Standard Draft for C++. The
text is good for students, engineers, programmers, or anybody who wants to
