The Lab Manual also contains electronic files for all the necessary program and data files. This Edition covers every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control structures, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all code from the book, plus Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0, Introductory Edition.For anyone who wants to learn C++, improve their existing C++ skills, and master object-oriented development with C++.
