    (mods)Not to sure were to put this, so please move if you think relevant.

    Guys, Im looking for a good C++ book, im studying it at uni, and feel a reference book would be good.

    However I dont want a tutorial, Just a dip in for quick help sort of book with lots of examples.

    Any ideas people?

    I know this isn't a book, and won't contain any help but have you tried Google code search?
    Might be useful in finding lots of ways to do one thing etc.

    C++ Primer Plus is a pretty good book for beginners. It's a 1000+ pages, but it covers a lot of material.

    I couldn't recommend Stroustrup more! Its a great intro to C++ and still covers complex issues too.
