Does "C++ Primer Plus" use Visual C++ for it's examples and stuff?

i've heard that C++ Primer Plus is a great book to get started with C++. but i was wondering if the books examples use Visual C++ (from Microsoft). what does it use?





you see, i prefer it over Dev-C++ and others so i was just wondering. please answer.

It's strictly ANSI C++! Below is an excerpt from the book itself:





"This book practices generic C++ so that it is not tied to any particular kind of computer, operating system, or compiler. All the programs were tested with CodeWarrior Pro 6 (Macintosh and Windows) and Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, and most were tested with Borland C++ Command-Line Compiler 5.5, Gnu g++ 2.9.5 running under DOS, and Comeau C/C++ 4.42.5 running under Linux. Only a few programs were affected by compiler non-conformance issues."
Reply:As previously noted, C++ Primer Plus does not relate to Visual Basic C++ specifically.





If you want a good tutorial on using Visual Basic C++, try Microsoft Press's "Step By Step" books, depending on your version:

The Step By Step series is aimed at hands-on examples of how to do certain tasks, rather than the "how-it-works" kind of instruction in most books.





I find that if you just want to start making useful things, and not worry about why it works, the Step By Step series is excellent.
