C++ Primer answer book

To this end, Lippman and Lajoie (L&L) have provided exercises throughout C++ Primer to
encourage their readers to test their understanding of the material. Our book provides the
solutions to those exercises.

C++ Primer Answer Book is intended to be used in conjunction with C++ Primer. We assume that
you have read the material in L&L preceding each exercise. We present our solution along with an
explanation, but we do not repeat the material found in L&L. Only those concepts and constructs
that have already been introduced are used in the solutions.

When the solution involves a complete program, we generally include the entire source code so
that each solution stands on its own. All programs have been compiled using Microsoft Visual
C++ Version 5.0. In some instances when the compiler did not meet the standard, a workaround
was used and an explanation given.

We recommend that you use L&L to learn C++, work the exercises, and study the solutions
presented here. We hope C++ Primer Answer Book will aid you in understanding C++ while eliminating the
frustration of being stuck without an answer to a problem.
