Abstract

In this book we sometimes will use certain code in the examples before having explained it in detail. This chapter is intended to help you when this occurs by giving presenting an overview of the major elements of C++ and how they hang together. We’ll also explain a few concepts relating to the representation of numbers and characters in your computer.
