C++ for Programmers

Part 1 Introduction: about C++ and other languages; our first C++ programme; memory organization and binary numbers; identifiers and keywords; constants; comment. Part 2 Expressions and statements: arithmetic operations; types, variables, and assignments; comparison and logical operators; compound and conditional statements; iteration statements; break, continue, goto, switch. Part 3 More operators: conditional expressions; the comma operator; bit manipulation; simple arrays; associativity; precedence of operators; arithmetic conversions and the cast-operator. Part 4 Functions and programme structure: definition and declarations of functions; the "void" keyword; global variables; altering variables via parameters; types of arguments and return values; initialization; separate compilation; some mathematical standard functions; overloading applied to functions; references as return values; inline functions and macros; other preprocessor facilities. Part 5 Arrays, pointers, and strings: address arithmetic; function arguments and arrays; pointers; strings; string operations; dynamic memory allocation; input and output of strings; strings as arguments and as return values; multi-dimensional arrays; programme parameters; the functions "sscanf" and "sprintf"; pointers to functions. Part 6 Classes and objects: classes and structures; classes as arguments and as return values; unions; bit fields; member functions and encapsulation; member access control; constructors and destructors; operator overloading and friend functions; type conversion for classes; copying a class. Part 7 Object-oriented programming: interface, implementation, and application files; a class for sets; derived classes and inheritance; virtual functions and late binding; static class members; pointers to members; polymorphism and reusability; iterators; a calculator for rational arithmetic. Part 8 Standard I/O: introduction; the function "print"; the function "scanf"; files; "binary files"; random access. Part 9 Stream I/O: stream; output; input; file I/O; random access - error states.
