Eighth edition. "Eight edition; new C++14 & C++17 coverage"--Cover. Includes index. Includes bibliographical references and index. Updated and reworked to improve the introductory material and examples, this book is still one of the best hands-on tutorials for the C++ programming language. The book's numerous examples of syntax and detailed analysis of code provide solid instruction for beginning programmers. Readers new to programming will learn about such fundamentals as managing I/O, loops and arrays, object-orient programming, templates, and creating C++ applications -- all in well-structured and easy-to-follow lessons. Each lesson provides numerous code listings, complete with sample output and an analysis of the code, to illustrate the topics covered in the lesson. This new edition is non-compiler specific, is up to date with the latest C++ standard, C++14, with all examples fully tested against 2015 versions of Microsoft C++ and GNU C++ compilers. Part I. The basics: Getting started ; The anatomy of a C++ program ; Using variables, declaring constants ; Managing arrays and strings ; Working with expressions, statements, and operations ; Controlling program flow ; Organizing code with functions ; Pointers and references explained -- part II. Fundamentals of object-oriented C++ programming: Classes and objects ; Implementing inheritance ; Polymorphism ; Operator types and operator overloading ; Casting operators ; An introduction to macros and templates -- part III. Learning the standard template library (STL): An introduction to the standard template library ; The STL string class ; STL dynamic array classes ; STL list and forward_list ; STL set classes ; STL map classes -- part IV. More STL ; Understanding function objects ; Lamda expressions ; STL algorithms ; Adaptive containers : stack and queue ; Working with bit flags using STL -- part V. Advanced C++ concepts: Understanding smart pointers ; Using streams for input and output ; Exception handling ; Going forward -- part VI. Appendixes: Appendix A: Working with numbers : binary and hexadecimal ; Appendix B: C++ keywords ; Appendix C: Operator precedence ; Appendix D: ASCII codes ; Appendix E: Answers.
