Programming in C++

This book is written for students and professional programmers who want to know more about the object-oriented programming language C++. It is helpful if the reader has a strong grasp of the C programming language. The authors introduce the features of C++, and also describe the modern programming paradigms of data abstraction and object-oriented programming.

There are a number of unique features:

• An overall presentation that encourages the reader to think in new ways about the process of programming.
• A detailed tutorial on the modern programming paradigms of data abstraction and object-oriented programming, plus sections on how to apply these paradigms.
• An entire chapter on inheritance
• A discussion of code reuse for increased program correctness and productivity
• A "How-To" section for creating libraries

For students, there are end-of-chapter exercises. Solved exercises are listed in an appendix.
