The book's Q&A format makes it exceptionally easy to find the answer you're looking for. Coverage includes the Java and C++ runtime environments, native types, lexicons and expressions.

The book also includes comprehensive examples from the C++ iostreams, STL and standard exception libraries. More than 100 Java and C++ programs are included in the book and on the accompanying CD-ROM. Whether you're migrating to Java -- or you're Java programmer being asked to work in C++ -- you'll find yourself referring to this book again and again.
