This text shows and highlights features and basic principles of C++. It is aimed at experienced C users who wish to learn C++. You will be able to express your code using the richer C++ syntax and you will be able to read some C++ code.

Though the concept is introduced and made usable, this is not a tutorial about Object Oriented Programming. You will still have to learn the spirit of OOP and the details of its implementation in C++, in order to be a true C++ programmer.

1. A new way to include libraries
2. // for one-line remarks
3. Console input and output streams
4. Variable declarations can be put inside the code without using hooks
5. Variables can be initialised by a calculation involving other variables
6. Variables can be declared inside a for loop declaration
7. Global variables can be accessed even if a local variables have the same name
8. It is possible to declare a REFERENCE to another variable
9. Namespaces can be declared
10. A function can be declared inline
11. The exception structure has been added
12. A function can have default parameters
13. FUNCTION OVERLOAD: several functions can be declared with the same name provided there is a difference in their parameter list
14. The symbolic operators (+ - * / ...) can be defined for new data types
15. Different functions for different data types will automatically be generated provided you define a template function
16. The keywords new and delete are much better to allocate and deallocate memory
17. You can add METHODS To a class or struct
18. The CONSTRUCTOR and the DESTRUCTOR can be used to initialise and destroy an instance of a class
19. Complex classes need the COPY CONSTRUCTOR and an overload of the = operator
20. The method bodies can be defined below the class definition (and Makefile usage example)
21. The keyword this is a pointer to the instance a method is acting upon
22. Arrays of instances can be declared
23. An example of a complete class declaration
24. static variables inside a class definition
25. const variables inside a class definition
26. A class can be DERIVED from another class
27. If a method is declared virtual the program will always check the type of the instance that is pointed to and will use the appropriate method.
28. A class can be derived from more than one base class
29. Class derivation allows you to write generic methods
30. ENCAPSULATION: public, protected and private
31. Brief examples of file I/O
32. Character arrays can be used like files
33. An example of formatted output
