Synopsis

This hands-on introduction to C++ programming uses a learn-by-example method. With more than 400 examples that are short and easily understood at first viewing, the book serves as the student's classroom notes, tutorial, and reference. LEARNING C++ employs a careful and steady progression of skills and concepts, going beyond the level of detail of most C++ books. The first five chapters show the reader how to make a smooth transition from C to C++, including explanations of iostream methods, default function arguments, reference variables, and heap management. From here classes are introduced, leading into more advanced topics such as operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and runtime type identification.
