1.3 Organization of the Reference Guide

Following this overview chapter is an alphabetical listing of the classes in the Business Analysis Module.

The Standard C++ Library Module Reference Guide lists the classes of the Standard C++ Library Module in alphabetical order. Each class entry includes the following information:

• The class name discussed in the entry

• The inheritance

The following convention is used to show that class A inherits from class B:

A  B

When a class inherits from more than one class, or there are multiple levels of inheritance, all of its inheritance relationships are shown. For example, the following illustration indicates that class A inherits from class B and from class C, which inherits from class D.

    B
A
    C  D

The notation used here is the standard UML arrow.

• A Synopsis indicating the header file(s) associated with the class.

• A brief Description of the class.

• An Example that uses the class.

• Descriptions of the various class functions. These are organized in categories according to their general use; for example, Constructors, Operators, and Public Member Functions.
