What are the differences between Special Edition and the Third Edition of Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language?
- by TheBlueCat
I'm buying a few C++ books after moving from Java. I obviously want to read the reference manual from the man himself, though I cannot tell the difference between these two editions. The special edition is ten pages shorter than the third edition. However, the special edition is recommended over the third edition and it seems this version covers the ASCII standard when the other edition does not.
Can anyone shed a bit of light on this?
