About the Book
The fourth edition presents
the ANSI C++ standard beginning with a discussion of the essential elements
of C++ programming: loops, expressions, functions, and classes. It walks
readers through the basics of object-oriented programming: classes, inheritance,
templates, and exceptions, as well as the latest object-oriented programming
techniques. C++ Primer Plus contains hundreds of sample programs. The friendly
tone, concise programs, and end-of-chapter review exercises allow beginners
to write their own programs immediately.
