Library types in Stanley Lipmann's "C++ Primer"
<p>Newbie to C++ but I am a Java programmer. Trying to learn C++ now. Reading the C++ Primer by Stanley Lipmann.</p>

<p>I don't understand this sentence in Chapter 3 about library types. He's talking about library type string and vector:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>These library types are abstractions of more primitive types - arrays and pointers - that are part of the language</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Could it be he meant:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>These library types are abstraction type rather than primitive types like arrays and pointers which are part of the language</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is my interpretation correct?</p>
