Appendices

Appendix A Reserved Words

The following identifiers are reserved words—identifiers with predefined meanings in the C++ language. The programmer cannot declare them for other uses (for example, variable names) in a C++ program.

Appendix B Operator Precedence

The following table summarizes C++ operator precedence. Several operators are not discussed in this book (typeid, the comma operator, , and .*, for instance). For information on these operators, see Stroustrup’s The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition (Addison-Wesley, 1997).
