An updated edition of the nuts-and-bolts C++ introduction. Distilling C++ down to a core of fundamental data types, structures, and syntax, Cay Horstmann offers an accessible introduction to this complex language so that novices can concentrate on the essentials of programming. This new edition focuses less on ccc.h and more on ANSI standard C++ as well as on object orientation. The examples included appear in the form of complete, ready-to-run programs.
