You can’t just look at C++ as a collection of features some of the features make no sense in isolation. You can only use the sum of the parts if you are thinking about design, not simply coding. And to understand C++ in this way, you must understand the problems with C and
with programming in general. This book discusses programming problems, why they are
problems, and the approach C++ has taken to solve such problems. Thus, the set of features I
explain in each chapter will be based on the way I see a particular type of problem being
solved with the language. In this way I hope to move you, a little at a time, from
understanding C to the point where the C++ mindset becomes your native tongue.
Throughout, I’ll be taking the attitude that you want to build a model in your head that allow
you to understand the language all the way down to the bare metal if you encounter a puzzle
you’ll be able to feed it to your model and deduce the answer. I will try to convey to you the
