Aimed specifically at nonprogrammers, this text does not require C programming as a prerequisite. It guides readers through examples and over 300 tested and working programs to develop a firm understanding of the essentials of the C++ programming language. All basic programming concepts are explained (coding mathematical expressions, decision making, loops, and recursion). The text makes no comparisons between C and C++, instead covering all aspects of C++ programming in detail - from fundamental concepts to advanced topics. All C++ source code files are provided for the text's 300+ programs on a companion diskette, allowing readers to begin programming immediately without having to retype the examples from the book. It also provides detailed discussions of objects and classes to train readers in the most common coding methodologies and reveal to them the power of C++.
