Summary

Intended for a one-term course in applications programming in C++; assumes no prior knowledge of C++, but does expect some programming experience in a high-level language. Focusing on the most useful aspects of the popular C++ programming language as well as some of its more specialized parts, this state-of-the-art, well-organized text focuses on using C++ to write practical programs based on sound design techniques. It includes a detailed examination of STL (standard template library), numerous examples, exercises, sample applications, programming exercises, and lists of common programming errors.

Features


Up-to-date coverage of C++, including sections on new-style headers, new-style casts, type bool, namespaces, namespace std, and STL.
An entire chapter on STL (standard template library), with detailed discussions on such features as containers, iterators, algorithms, function objects, and container and function object adaptors.
Topics grouped according to their use and their relationships to one another. This organization enables readers to write simple but useful program immediately.
Starts students off with a practical introductory chapter to computer systems and program development.
Builds skills and fortifies retention.
Groups topics according to their use and their relationships to one another. Alerts students to common mistakes and misconceptions with:

  • Lists of common programming errors.
  • C++ Postscript sections at the end of each chapter that discuss less-used parts of the language and give additional technical details about certain parts of the language.
Contains five useful appendices that cover such areas as the ASCII table, a list of some of the most useful C++ functions and class methods, and more.
