Abstract
The short appendix offers a very basic introduction to the C++language to someone already (at least somewhat) familiar with Rprogramming. Introducing all of C++in just a few pages is not really possible. Countless books have been written about the C++language since its inception in the early 1990s (and we will list a few at the end in a section on further readings).
