| c++ essentials: A Tour of C++ Bjarne Stroustrup, 2013-09-16 The C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, thoroughly covers the details of this language and its use in his definitive reference, The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition. In A Tour of C++ , Stroustrup excerpts the overview chapters from that complete reference, expanding and enhancing them to give an experienced programmer–in just a few hours–a clear idea of what constitutes modern C++. In this concise, self-contained guide, Stroustrup covers most major language features and the major standard-library components–not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started. Stroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++11, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency. The tour ends with a discussion of the design and evolution of C++ and the extensions added for C++11. This guide does not aim to teach you how to program (see Stroustrup’s Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ for that); nor will it be the only resource you’ll need for C++ mastery (see Stroustrup’s The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, for that). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you can’t find a shorter or simpler introduction than this tour provides. |

| c++ essentials: C Programming: The Essentials for Engineers and Scientists David R. Brooks, 2012-12-06 1 The Purpose of This Text This text has been written in response to two trends that have gained considerable momentum over the past few years. The first is the decision by many undergraduate engineering and science departments to abandon the traditional programming course based on the aging Fortran 77 standard. This decision is not surprising, considering the more modem features found in languages such as Pascal and C. However, Pascal never developed a strong following in scientific computing, and its use is in decline. The new Fortran 90 standard defines a powerful, modem language, but this long-overdue redesign of Fortran has come too late to prevent many colleges and universities from switching to C. The acceptance of C by scientists and engineers is based perhaps as. much on their perceptions of C as an important language, which it certainly is, and on C programming experience as a highly marketable skill, as it is on the suitability of C for scientific computation. For whatever reason, C or its derivative C++ is now widely taught as the first and often only programming language for undergraduates in science and engineering. The second trend is the evolving nature of the undergraduate engineering curriculum. At a growing number of institutions, the traditional approach of stressing theory and mathematics fundamentals in the early undergraduate years, and postponing real engineering applications until later in the curriculum, has been turned upside down. |

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts in C++ One of the most significant features of C++ is its support for object-oriented programming. This section introduces readers to the four fundamental OOP concepts: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. Each of these concepts is explained in detail, with examples to demonstrate their practical implementation in C++. Encapsulation: This concept is explained through classes and objects, showing how to bundle data and functions into a single entity. Readers learn how to define classes, create objects, and apply access specifiers (public, private, and protected) to control data access. Inheritance: This section delves into the power of inheritance, explaining how one class can inherit attributes and methods from another, thus enabling code reuse and creating hierarchies of classes. Examples include single, multiple, and multilevel inheritance. Polymorphism: Both compile-time (function and operator overloading) and runtime (virtual functions) polymorphism are explained. Readers will understand how polymorphism allows one interface to control access to different implementations, making their code more flexible and extensible. Abstraction: This concept is covered by showing how abstract classes and pure virtual functions allow programmers to define interfaces that must be implemented by derived classes. Through these OOP concepts, readers will learn how to design object-oriented programs that are modular, maintainable, and easy to extend. 7. Advanced Features of C++: Templates and Exception Handling This section introduces advanced topics such as templates and exception handling. Templates: Readers will learn how to use function templates and class templates to create generic functions and classes that can work with any data type. This powerful feature of C++ allows developers to write more flexible and reusable code. Exception Handling: Exception handling is vital for writing robust programs. This section teaches how to use try, throw, and catch blocks to handle errors and exceptions in C++. Readers will understand how exceptions allow them to manage unexpected situations and keep the program from crashing unexpectedly. Conclusion C++ Programming Essentials: Theory, Concepts, and Practical Applications is designed to provide a well-rounded understanding of C++ programming. The book covers everything from basic syntax to advanced topics, ensuring that readers of all levels can benefit from its content. With a focus on both theory and practical applications, this book prepares students not only to excel in academic exams but also to apply C++ programming in professional settings. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced programmer, this book will serve as a valuable resource for mastering C++ and becoming proficient in software development. |
