Summary

InStarting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, 6/e Gaddis covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter.Introduction to Computers and Programming; Introduction to C++; Expressions and Interactivity; Making Decisions; Looping; Functions; Arrays; Searching and Sorting Arrays; Pointers; Characters, Strings, and the string Class; Structured Data; Advanced File Operations; Introduction to Classes; More About Classes; Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Virtual Functions; Exceptions, Templates, and the Standard Template Library (STL); Linked Lists; Stacks and Queues; Recursion; Binary Trees.For all readers interested in C++ programming.
