Collection and Container Classes in C++

Description

I'm not sure how to put this, but, this book has some of the best, most clearly written, and logically organized introductions to various aspects of the class concept in C++ programming. I had been struggling with the concept of the class constructor for about a month, rereading material in several different texts, but not really understanding it. This book iterates and reinterates the subject material so that there is no confusion. For example, on the constructor, the book explained the distinction between objects and classes, the concept of instantiation, provided examples of such and of member types, and the purpose of the class concept, and then, at the right time, explained it so: "The purpose of the constructor is to initialize an object of its class." T H A N K Y O U !!!!In ten minutes, I understood everything I had been struggling with for the previous 30 days. The book does the same thing with polymorphism, overloading, templates, and so forth. So -- I'm not sure if people who are specifically interested in Collections and Container Classes will get what they want from this book -- I'm not at that level to judge yet -- but this book is great for the beginner as a supplementary support text. Beautiful diagrammatics also.
