Am new to VC++ (running VC++ 2010 Express) and kinda getting up to speed with the language itself. But I cant seem to find the documentation I need on library usage. For instance, I found a list of header files like
<algorithm> <allocators> <array> <bitset> <codecvt> <complex> <cvt/wbuffer> <cvt/wstring> <deque> <exception> <forward_list> <fstream>
<functional> <hash_map> <hash_set> <iomanip> <ios> <iosfwd> <iostream> <iso646.h> <istream> <iterator> <limits> <list> <locale>
<map> <memory> <new> <numeric> <ostream> <queue> <random> <regex> <set> <sstream> <stack> <stdexcept> <streambuf> <string>
<strstream> <system_error> <tuple> <type_traits> <unordered_map> <unordered_set> <utility> <valarray> <vector>
But I cant seem to find documentation on the functions in those headers and their useage. For example, in #include <iostream> I know about cout, cin, cerr and clog since they are explained in one C++ book I have. But thats all.
