C++ for Fortran Programmers - Brossura

9780201924831: C++ for Fortran Programmers

Sinossi

C++ for Fortran Programmers provides a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming by building on the reader's knowledge of FORTRAN. Noted C++ authority Ira Pohl uses his trademark technique of "dissection" to illustrate the underlying structure of programs and help readers understand design trade-offs. Where appropriate, C++ code is given with equivalent FORTRAN code. FORTRAN 77 has been augmented by other versions of FORTRAN, including FORTRAN 90. Based on the proposed ANSI C++ standard, this book covers the latest language features including detailed discussions of templates, STL, and exception handling.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Using your existing knowledge of Fortran, C++ for Fortran Programmers gets you up and running with C++ quickly. By showing how individual elements of a Fortran program compare and translate into C++, this book helps you make a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented concepts. Best-selling author and C++ authority Ira Pohl uses his trademark "dissection" technique to illustrate the underlying structure of programs and to help you understand design trade-offs. Scientific and engineering coding examples are featured throughout the text.

  • Provides a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming for programmers already familiar with Fortran.
  • Includes C++ to Fortran equivalencies, making it easy to move from one language to another.
  • Features engineering computations throughout; important scientific types such as complex number, vector, and polynomial are implemented.
  • Incorporates the proposed ANSI C++ Standard including bool, namespaces, and the STL library.
  • Features a chapter on the use of STL and efficient generic programming.
  • Supplies fully tested program code on the World Wide Web at http://www.aw.com/cp/authors/pohl/c++_fortran/c++_fortran.html.
