The OOP concepts reference guide lacked clear hierarchical organization and navigation structure. All 169 concepts were present but scattered across generic section names without consistent categorization or granular navigation aids.

Changes

Reorganized main table of contents

  • Restructured into 14 domain-specific categories (Fundamental Structure, Access Control, Polymorphism, RTTI, Templates, STL, Exception Handling, etc.)
  • Split generic "C++ and Java Advanced Concepts" into focused sections: RTTI/Casting, Templates/Generics, and STL
  • Added hierarchical bullet lists showing all sub-concepts under each major category

Added per-section navigation

  • Each major section now has its own detailed TOC with anchor links
  • Sequential numbering (1-169) maintained across all concepts for consistent reference

Fixed capitalization inconsistencies

  • Standardized concept titles: "explicit keyword" → "explicit Keyword", "new operator" → "new Operator", etc.
  • Applied consistent title-case formatting across all 169 subsections

Structure

## Fundamental Structure and Lifetime

### Table of Contents
1. [Object](#1-object)
2. [Class](#2-class)
...
23. [Garbage Collection](#23-garbage-collection)

---

### 1. Object
**Definition:** An instance of a class...

All concepts remain unchanged—only organization and navigation improved.
