im looking for a site or a book or something that tells exactly what functions are included in header files (i.ee cout is in iostream and then goes into somewhat of a detail of what the function does). is there any site or book or anything like that out there?
thanks
if its any help, im using dev c++
but if need be, i can use microsoft c++ 6.0
i'd use borland 5.02, but there seems to be some problems with it in windows 2000 (i dont have the 5.03 update)
thanks again
Dinkumware has good resources for that.
heres one but you have to read evrything bevore you know

i really like this site, but sadly, to me its a bit too "wordy"
im trying to make sense of it
Yeah, this is the WORST programming language (that I've studied) for finding a book with all the built-in and library functions. I have a handful of incomplete books at home. You'd think that because C++ is standardized and popular it would be easy. I have "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup (incomplete), but I don't have his other (older) book.
The help file that comes with MSVC++ is complete, but that doesn't help if you don't know what the function is!
Well, it's a good thing no one read my post.

like i said, this is a pretty good web site, but its so hard to understand for me. im lookin for something that explains it moreso in plain english
Last time i looked it was in english?Quote:

It's hard to keep track of all the functions in C++ because the're
so many compilers,platforms and operating systems wich all
use their own functions and methods. That's one of the bad
points of having a cross-platform language.
There is an ANSI STANDARD, and C++ is SUPPOSED to be portable!!!Quote:

I know this portability stuff is a myth in the real word, but it would be nice to have a complete (printed) reference of the ANSI stuff.
Most compilers try to be ANSI compliant, that is they will compile ANSI code. Then, they ADD all the extra stuff (like Windows).
Thank's for the link, Govtcheez. That looks really complete!!!
I use those site :

Use the Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 compiler's help. it is extensive and exhaustive.
Happy Hunting...
