Programming in C++

Opening with a discussion of the inheritance of C++, derived from preceding structured programming languages and from Smalltalk, this book introduces the concepts of class inheritance and polymorphism. The author goes on to explain both structured and object-oriented programming methodologies, and then shows how C++ software can be written using a combination of these techniques. Many program examples and exercises are provided to encourage both the novice and experienced programmers to appreciate the different features of C++ as each is introduced. Only the ANSI C libraries are assumed, and the examples and exercises can be run in any C++ environment that provides compatability with AT&T version 2.1 and above. A diskette of programmes is available separately.
