From the Publisher: 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 ...
