People, what is the one book that you would recommend for learning c++, containing every important topic? Or what is the most popular book for teaching the subject in school?

Should be more than enough in my opinion.

There are many great books out there for learning C++, but one of the most highly recommended and popular books is "C++ Primer" by Stanley B. Lippman, Josée Lajoie, and Barbara E. Moo. It covers all the important topics in a clear and comprehensive manner, making it a great resource for beginners and experienced programmers alike. It is also widely used in schools and universities as a textbook for teaching C++. However, it's important to note that everyone learns differently, so it's always a good idea to explore multiple resources and find what works best for you.
