Consult your Compilers documentation

[enduser000]

Hey,
I've been reading from several sources to learn C++. I have seen the phrase "consult your compilers documentation for more information" multiple times. Sometimes it's about the minimum and maximum values for variables, and other times it's about creating multiple file programs. I wanted to ask, though it seems obvious, where is this documentation? I have been using Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition (http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/) and couldn't findit on their website or in the program. Any links or tips on this are appeciated. Thanks again,

You want to be looking on the microsoft msdn site.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx

Is probably as good a place as any to start. The compiler switches, header files, library calls, its all in there and in all sorts of places. It's a huge site so best of luck finding what you need.

Visyual Studio documentation can be obtained by a) placing the mouse on the word and pressing F1 or by selection Help/Search.

Thanks all,
I think I got what I need, also started another book C++ The complete reference by Herbert Schildt. It covers C first then C++ topics like STL and stuff.
