FAQs Q: Why is the standard hard to read? I'm having trouble learning C++ from reading it. Please note that the standard is not intended to teach how to use C++. Rather, it is an international treaty -- a formal, legal, and sometimes mind-numbingly detailed technical document intended primarily for people writing C++ compilers and standard library implementations. Fortunately, there are lots of good books that do teach how to use C++! See these recommendations http://isocpp.org/get-started as a starting point for high-quality tutorial and reference information about how to learn and use C++. - http://isocpp.org/std/the-standard |
