C++ How to Program, Fifth Edition

With
over 250,000 sold, Harvey and Paul Deitel's C++ How to Program is the
world's best-selling introduction to C++ programming. Now, this classic
has been thoroughly updated! The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program
series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of programming concepts and
intermediate-level topics for further study. The books in this series
feature hundreds of complete, working programs with thousands of lines
of code.
Deitels' C++ How to Program is the most comprehensive,
practical introduction to C++ ever published-with hundreds of hands-on
exercises, roughly 250 complete programs written and documented for easy
learning, and exceptional insight into good programming practices,
maximizing performance, avoiding errors, debugging, and testing. The
updated Fifth Edition now includes a new early classes pedagogy-classes
and objects are introduced in Chapter 3 and used throughout the book as
appropriate. The new edition uses string and vector classes to make
earlier examples more object-oriented. Large chapters are broken down
into smaller, more manageable pieces. A new OOD/UML ATM case study
replaces the elevator case study of previous editions, and UML in the
OOD/UML case study and elsewhere in the book has been upgraded to UML 2.
The Fifth Edition features new mini case studies (e.g., GradeBook and
Time classes). An employee hierarchy replaces Point/Circle/Cylinder to
introduce inheritance and polymorphism. Additional enhancements include
tuned treatment of exception handling, new “Using the Debugger” material
and a new "Before You Begin" section to help readers get set up
properly. Also included are separate chapters on recursion and
searching/sorting. The Fifth Edition retains every key concept and
technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control statements,
functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction,
operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O,
templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and
more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template
Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the source code from the book. A
valuable reference for programmers and anyone interested in learning the
C++ programming language and object-oriented development in C++.
