💖 NAME 💖

okay so C++-Annotations — it's literally the most extensive tutorial about the C++ programming language you're ever gonna meet, no cap 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

bestie, listen. The C++ Annotations are an extensive tutorial all about the C++ programming language. Like, it can straight up be used as a textbook for C/C++ programming courses. It's giving ✨actual coursework energy✨ and we're obsessed 🎀

This document is for the knowledgeable users of C — or honestly any other language that uses a C-like grammar, so like Perl or Java besties you're invited too 🫶 — who wanna know more about C++, or who wanna make the transition to C++. Think of it as your glow-up guide. This document is the main textbook for Frank's C++ programming courses, which get organized yearly at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands 🇳🇱🎓 periodt.

ngl though, the C++ Annotations do not cover all aspects of C++. Specifically: C++'s basic grammar, which is, for all practical purposes, equal to C's grammar, is not covered 🚫. For that part of the C++ language the reader should consult other texts, like a book covering the C programming language. So if that's your vibe, go read those, iykyk 📚

The package offers the C++ Annotations in the following document formats:

  • text
  • Plain ascii text (cplusplus.txt);
  • LaTeX, including a .dvi file (in the subdirectory latex/);
  • PostScript (in the subdirectory ps/);
  • Pdf (in the subdirectory pdf/);
  • html (in the subdirectory html/);

(The PostScript, PDF and LaTeX formats were constructed for two different paper-sizes: A4 and legal. we love options 🎀)

Depending on your installation type, the documents may also appear in compressed forms (e.g., cplusplus.txt.gz, cplusplus.html.zip). basically your install is doing a little ✨compression slay✨ 🙈
