C++98 — The Foundation

Year: 1998 · Concepts: 213 (52 core + 161 STL)

C++98 is the original ISO standardization of C++, establishing the language fundamentals, the Standard Template Library (STL), and the object-oriented and generic programming model that all later standards build upon.

Sections

• Core Language (52 concepts) — Classes, templates, inheritance, RAII, exceptions, and all fundamental language features.
• STL & Library (161 concepts) — Containers, algorithms, iterators, strings, streams, and the full standard library.

Key Features

• Classes, constructors, destructors, RAII
• Templates (function templates, class templates)
• Standard Template Library (vector, map, list, set, …)
• Exceptions (try / catch / throw)
• Namespaces, operator overloading
• const correctness, references, pointers
• Iterators and generic algorithms (sort, find, transform, …)
• I/O streams (cin, cout, file streams)
• Inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism
