Starting Out With C++: Early Objects is intended for either a one semester traditional introductory programming course or a two-semester C++ programming sequence, with introductory material placed in the first half of the text and more advanced topics, such as recursion and data structures, placed in the second half. Objects are introduced early, right after control structures and before arrays and pointers. The STL string class is used throughout. As with all Gaddis books, there is a strong emphasis on problem solving and program design, a careful step-by-step introduction of each new topic, clear and easy to read code listings, concise and practical real world examples, and an abundance of exercises in each chapter.
Has a clear and student-friendly writing style with stepped-out explanations that motivate beginning students
Includes over 350 concise, practical and runnable real-world examples students can relate to and understand
Has a wealth of exercises in each chapter so students have the chance to put concepts to work as they are learned
Introduces objects and classes early, right after control structures and before arrays and pointers
Covers more advanced OOP topics, recursion, linked lists, stacks, queues, and binary trees in later chapters
Follows an ANSI standard and uses the most currently accepted programming practices
Includes new appendices on UML and on .NET and Managed C++
Can be ordered alone or with a lab manual that gives students pre-developed code to complete, edit, and experiment with
Is supported by Addison-Wesley’s exclusive MyCodeMate tool
MyCodeMate is a web-based, textbook-specific homework tool and programming resource for an introduction to programming course. It provides a wide range of tools that students can use to help them learn programming concepts, prepare for tests, and earn better grades in the introductory programming course. Students can work on programming problems from this text or homework problems created by their professors, and receive guided hints with page references and English explanations of compiler errors. Instructors can assign textbook-specific or self-created homework problems, preset style attributes, view students’ code and class compiler error logs, and track homework completion. A complimentary subscription is offered when an access code is ordered packaged with a new copy of this text. Subscriptions may also be purchased online. For more information visit www.myCodeMate.com.
Several Progamming Challenges in each chapter have been selected for inclusion in Addison-Wesley's MyCodeMate. MyCodeMate allows students to complete the programming Challenges on-line, with automated assistance and feedback provided as needed. It also provides instructors with information on student progress and helps with course management.
Each Programming Challenge integrated into MyCodeMate is followed in the text by a "twin" problem that has the student either build on the original program or create a new program that is similar in design in it.
The double data type, rather than the float data type, has become the standard used throughout the book for floating-point variables.
The standard has been adopted throughout the book of giving named constants indentifier names consisting entirely of uppercase characters and underscores.
Array size declarators, previously specified with literals, are now specified with named constants.
The appendices have been reorganized and each appendix is now stored in its own PDF file, with numbering starting from page 1. This will make it easire for students to locate appendix information.
Two new appendices have been added-Using UML in Class Design and .NET and Managed C++
A UML icon has been added throughout the text where appropriate to refer students to the contents of the new appendix.

The Starting Out with C++ textbook series has students raving. It presents introductory programming concepts in a student-friendly and accessible step-by-step way, ensuring that beginning programmers understand each programming topic.
“My school’s first programming class uses Starting Out with C++. I love your C++ book–it makes everything so easy to understand!”
–Christopher Savage, student at Augusta State University
“I’m using your book in an introductory course in C++. Your book is GREAT!! It abstracts the complexity of C++ down to the core concepts that we can build on. Thanks!”
–Jim Burke, student at University of Texas at Dallas
In addition to Gaddis’ emphasis on practical examples, abundant practice exercises, and focus on problem solving and program design, Starting Out with C++: Early Objects, 5e (formerly called “Alternate Version”):
• Follows the ANSI standard and uses the most currently accepted programming practices
• Covers both procedural and object-oriented programming
• Introduces classes in Chapter 7, right after control structures and functions
• Has new appendices on UML and on .NET and Managed C++
• Illustrates concepts and techniques with over 350 fully runnable example programs
• Includes dozens of MyCodeMate programming challenges
