Description

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.
