Advanced C++ FAQs: Volume 2 : Generic Programming

by Chandra Shekhar Kumar

This book is sequel to the first volume Advanced C++ FAQs : Volume 1 : Fundamentals. It assumes that the reader is aware of the basics of C++98 and C++03 and wants to expand her horizon to latest and greatest in the present and future of C++, including C++11 and C++1y(aka C++14). It contains selected generic programming problems with detailed solutions to all of these which will help the reader to hone her skills to solve a particular problem. The problems are marked on a scale of one(*)(simplest) to five stars(*****)(hardest).
