Hansen, The C++ Answer Book, Addison-Wesley 1990 (!) When I first heard about the book ("solves all exercises in Stroustrup"), I thought "who cares." But Andrew Koenig recommended it and I bought a copy. It is an excellent book. It does far more than solve all the exercises. There are lots of very good hints and comments. Recommended. And not even over-priced. (At least not when compared with A. Koenig's C Traps & Pitfalls :-)) Cay
