C++ For C Programmers, Third Edition (3rd Edition)

Extensively revised and updated, this proven book by noted C++/C expert Ira Pohl is written specifically for C programmers who are transitioning to C++. C ++ For C Programmers, Third Edition takes an evolutionary teaching approach, using C as a starting point and C++ as a destination. This third edition reflects the new ANSI C++ Standard, and covers the latest language features--including detailed discussions of templates, STL, and exception handling. Each chapter contains a brief examination of Java that compares and contrasts it with C++, providing the C programmer with a more complete understanding of both C and C++ and their relationship to Java. Highlights of C++ for C Programmers, Third Edition , include: A smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming for programmers already familiar with C Extensive exercises and frequent language comparisons to teach concepts quickly and to introduce the language's powerful object-oriented features Pohl's trademark "dissection" code presentation technique, which illustrates the underlying structure of programs and makes design tradeoffs understandable 0201395193B04062001 Provides an easy, quick, and seamless transition to C++ programming for the programmer who is already competent in C. Both a tutorial and reference, this short handbook demonstrates C++ as a powerful extension of C and uses frequent comparisons of the two languages to build the programmer's C++ vocabulary. All examples and applications in this edition are written in the proposed ANSI C++ standard. This text builds on programmers knowledge of C to make a seamless transition to C++. It briefly examines Java to compare and contrast it with the features of C++.
