C++ Standard Library: A Quickstudy Laminated Reference Guide

This quick reference (aka "cheat sheet") guide has 6 laminated pages in total, all of them bound together into a menu-like format (like what you'd get at a restaurant), which is the same as the other C++ quick reference sheet also from this author. The pages aren't separate pages, which is fine, because it helps keep it together.The guide does provide a nice format for quick lookup, and I can see how some things about the C++17 standard template library etc will be easier to look up in this format (e.g. some online documentation is too noisy for some subjects). It seems like it will be reasonably useful.I bought both it and the core language guide quick reference cheat sheet, which are two separate items (a potential point of confusion), which really should be bought together (like someone said on the other item's review page) because good modern C++ coding pretty much requires heavy use of both the standard library and the core language.It seems like the product page for this one has been neglected some though (as of 2021-03-17 at least), because there are visible formatting errors on the product's description that should be corrected.Also, I did notice some minor typos on the guide itself, such as is visible in one of the photos I've attached. For example, "strol" is a typo, because the real functions name is "strtol" and similarly for the other related functions in that section (they all have missing "t"s in the chart). None of the errors in the guide(s) seem like deal breakers and will be pretty easy to spot, so whatever.Also, on the core "C++ language" guide (the sibling/companion guide to this one) I also noticed an error in the section on C-style casts. On that guide (not this one), the C-style cast section has only a single parenthesis "(" and nothing else, when I'm guessing the author probably intended to actually write something meaningful like "(type_to_cast_to) var" or something like that but then forgot. The author/publisher should fix that error on that product too.Anyway though, in summary, it is a good quick reference sheet for the STL and other standard library components, but expect a small handful of minor typos and such.Thanks for reading and have a good day.

My son is all into this stuff and requested one of these for Christmas. It came quickly and he’s happy— win as far as I’m concerned!

Great for quick reference

I've been using these Quickstudy cheats since my college days in the 1970's and they are an excellent resource!! A particular class at SDSU instead of reading the text book, I used the Quickstudy cheats instead and got an A...true story.GL

This is a good quick reference study guide, I am a Java developer, and the transition with this cheat sheet is going pretty good

Nice

Overall it's a good product, but there are still some room for improvement. [Pros] The sheet is sealed in plastic cover, so you can use it under water or use it as a fan during the 110F hot summer in Seattle. [Cons] It mentions containers well but seems forget to mention adapters; when mentioning <memory>, it lists unique_ptr and shared_ptr but doesn't mention how to create them; a little amount of tiny typos. Hopefully there will be a new version (and I can get a updated copy for free :P)

In my biased opinion, this is a great quick reference guide for when you cannot remember the name of a function or class in the C++17 Standard Library. A quick scan is all it takes to refresh your memory. Using this guide is actually much faster than scanning through on-line reference guides to find the name of a forgotten function or class. Deprecated features are intentionally omitted to discourage their use.
