C++ For Dummies - 4th Edition

Meer over het boek

If you've viewed programmers as an elite group with unique skills, it's time to rethink that perspective. This guide dispels myths, breaks down barriers, and helps you get started with programming. By the end of Chapter 1, you'll be able to create a basic C++ program, perhaps a practical inventory control or record-keeping tool. Learning by doing is emphasized, and the accompanying CD-ROM provides essential resources to kickstart your programming journey. You'll find Dev-C, a comprehensive C++ compiler and editor, along with source code for the book's programs, including BUDGET, and documentation for the Standard Template Library, plus online C++ help files. Written by Stephen Randy Davis, the guide walks you through programming step-by-step. You'll learn to generate executables, create and comment source code, write declarations, and calculate expressions. It covers functions, arrays, pointer variables, classes, object-oriented programming, constructors, destructors, and inheritance. You'll also explore stream I/O and the importance of consistent code formatting. Updated for the latest ANSI standard, this resource ensures you're working with current practices. Note that CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included in the eBook file.
