# c++-annotations(7)

Extensive tutorial about the C++ programming language

## NAME

C++-Annotations - Extensive tutorial about the C++ programming language

## DESCRIPTION

The **C++** Annotations offer an extensive tutorial about the **C++** programming language. It can be used as a textbook for **C/C++** programming courses.

This document is intended for knowledgeable users of **C** (or any other language using a **C**-like grammar, like **Perl** or **Java**) who would like to know more about, or make the transition to, **C++**. This document is the main textbook for Frank’s **C++** programming courses, which are yearly organized at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands.

The **C++** Annotations do not cover all aspects of **C++**, though. In particular, **C++**’s basic grammar, which is, for all practical purposes, equal to **C**’s grammar, is not covered. For this part of the **C++** language, the reader should consult other texts, like a book covering the **C** programming language.

The package offers the **C++** Annotations in the following document formats:

- o

  text

- o

  Plain ascii text (*cplusplus.txt*);

- o

  LaTeX, including a *.dvi* file (in the subdirectory *latex/*);

- o

  PostScript (in the subdirectory *ps/*);

- o

  Pdf (in the subdirectory *pdf/*);

- o

  html (in the subdirectory *html/*);

The postscript, pdf and LaTeX formats were constructed for two different paper-sizes: A4 and legal.

Depending on your installation type, the documents may also appear in compressed forms (e.g., *cplusplus.txt.gz, cplusplus.html.zip*).
