Abstract

Orthogonality was first introduced to the design of programming languages in 1960s and still stands well to the test of time. A language with better orthogonality tends to be easier to understand and more intuitive to use. In this paper, I examine the orthogonality in C++ from the perspectives of type systems, expressions and flow controls.
