Hello
I'm asking for a textbook in C++ programming language for Particle Physicists
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This is a good intro (I wish I could remember who borrowed my copy several years ago):

C++ Primer

Don't get anything earlier than the 4th edition. The 4th was a major improvement over the previous. I see there's a 5th edition coming next month, might be worth waiting for.
