Here is a list of commonly used C++ headers. If an older version of the header exists, its name is shown in
parentheses.
cassert (assert.h)
cctype (ctype.h)
Most functions in this library classify a given ASCII character as a letter, a digit, and so on. Two other functions
convert letters between uppercase and lowercase.
The classification functions return a true value if ch belongs to the specified group otherwise they return false.
isalnum(ch) Returns true if ch is either a letter or a decimal digit
isalpha(ch) Returns true if ch is a letter
iscntrl(ch) Returns true if ch is a control character (ASCII 127 or 0 to 31)
isdigit(ch) Returns true if ch is a decimal digit
isgraph(ch) Returns true if ch is printable and nonblank
islower(ch) Returns true if ch is a lowercase letter
isprint(ch) Returns true if ch is printable (including blank)
ispunct(ch) Returns true if ch is a punctuation character
isspace(ch) Returns true if ch is a whitespace character: space, tab, carriage return, new line, or form feed
isupper(ch) Returns true if ch is an uppercase letter
isxdigit(ch) Returns true if ch is a hexidecimal digit
toascii(ch) Returns ASCII code for ch
tolower(ch) Returns the lowercase version of ch if ch is an uppercase letter otherwise returns ch
toupper(ch) Returns the uppercase version of ch if ch is a lowercase letter otherwise returns ch

cmath (math.h)
The C++ functions in this library compute certain standard mathematical functions. These functions are
overloaded to accomodate float, double, and long double. Unless otherwise indicated, each function has one
argument, with the return type being the same as the argument type (either float, double, or long double).
acos Returns the arc cosine
asin Returns the arc sine
atan Returns the arc tangent
atan2 Returns the arc tangent x/y for arguments x and y
ceil Rounds up
cos Returns the cosine
cosh Returns the arc cosine
exp Returns ex
fabs Returns the absolute value
floor Rounds down
fmod Returns x modulo y for arguments x and y
frexp For arguments x and eptr, where x = m * 2e, returns m and sets eptr to point to e
ldexp Returns x * 2e , for arguments x and e
log Returns the natural log
log10 Returns the log base 10
modf For arguments x and iptr, returns the fractional part of x and sets iptr to point to the integer part of x
pow Returns xy , for arguments x and y
sin Returns the sine
sinh Returns the hyperbolic sine
sqrt Returns the square root
tan Returns the tangent
tanh Returns the hyperbolic tangent
cstdlib
(stdlib.h)
cstring
(string.h)
This library enables you to manipulate C strings that end in the char '\0', the null char. Unless noted otherwise,
these functions return a pointer to the resulting string in addition to modifying an appropriate argument. The
argument ch is a character, n is an integer, and the other arguments are strings, which usually means they are
names of a char array, but can be string constants in some cases. For example, strcmp("Hello", "Goodbye")

strcat(toS, fromS) Copies fromS to the end of toS
strncat(toS, fromS, n) Copies at most n characters of fromS to the end
of toS and appends \0
strcmp(str1, str2) Returns an integer that is negative if str1 < str2,
zero if str1 == str2, and positive if str1 > str2
stricmp(str1, str2) Behaves like strcmp, but ignores case
strncmp(str1, str2, n) Behaves like strcmp, but compares the first
n characters of each string
strcpy(toS, fromS) Copies fromS toS
strncpy(toS, fromS, n) Copies n characters of fromS to toS, truncating
or padding with \0 as necessary
strspn(str1, str2) Returns the number of initial consecutive characters
of str1 that are not in str2
strcspn(str1, str2) Returns the number of initial consecutive characters
of str1 that are in str2
strlen(str) Returns the length of str, excluding \0
strlwr(str) Converts any uppercase letters in str to lowercase
without altering other characters
strupr(str) Converts any lowercase letters in str to uppercase
without altering other characters
strchr(str, ch) Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of ch
in str; otherwise returns NULL
strrchr(str, ch) Returns a pointer to the last occurrence of ch in
str; otherwise returns NULL
strpbrk(str1, str2) Returns a pointer to the first character in str1
that also appears in str2; otherwise returns NULL
strstr(str1, str2) Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of str2
in str1; otherwise returns NULL
strtok(str1, str2) Finds the next token in str1 that is followed by
str2, returns a pointer to the token and writes
NULL immediately after the token in str1
ctime
exception
Defines classes, types, and functions that relate to exception handling. A portion of the class exception is shown
below.
class exception
{
public:
exception() throw();
virtual exception() throw();
exception &operator=(const exception %exc) throw();
virtual const char *what() const throw();
}
fstream (fstream.h)
iomanip (iomanip.h)
The manipulation in this library affect the format of steam operations. Note that iostream contains additional
manipulators.
setbase(b) Setts number base to b = 8, 10, or 16
setfill(f) Sets fill character to f

setprecision(n) Sets floatingpoint precision to integer n
setw(n) Sets field width to integer n
iostream (iostream.h)
The manipulators in this library affect the format of stream operations. Note that iomanip contains additional
manipulators.
dec Tells subsequent operation to use decimal representation
end1 Inserts newline character \n and flushes output stream
ends Inserts null character \0 in an output stream
flush Flushes an output stream
hex Tells subsequent I/O operations to use hexadecimal
representation
oct Tells subsequent I/O operation to use octal representation
ws Extracts whitespace characters on input stream
string
This library enables you to manipulate C++ strings. Described here is a selection of the functions that this
library provides. In addition, you can use the following operators with C++ strings: =, +, ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=,
<<, and >>. Note that positions within a string begin at 0.
erase() Makes the string empty
erase(pos, len) Removes the substring that begins at position pos and
contains len characters
find(subString) Returns the position of a substring within the string
length() Returns the number of characters in the string
(same as size)
replace(pos, len, str) Replaces the substring that begins at position
pos and contains len characters with the string str
size() Returns the number of characters in ths string
(same as length)
substr(pos, len) Returns the substring that begins at position pos
and contains len characters
