C++ for Fortran Programmers

C++ for Fortran Programmers provides a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming by building on the reader's knowledge of FORTRAN. Noted C++ authority Ira Pohl uses his trademark technique of "dissection" to illustrate the underlying structure of programs and help readers understand design trade-offs. Where appropriate, C++ code is given with equivalent FORTRAN code. FORTRAN 77 has been augmented by other versions of FORTRAN, including FORTRAN 90. Based on the proposed ANSI C++ standard, this book covers the latest language features including detailed discussions of templates, STL, and exception handling.
