 Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects presents C++ programming concepts and techniques in clear, easy-to-understand language. Using his hallmark accessible, step-by-step approach, author Tony Gaddis covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. Every chapter includes clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, focused explanations, and an abundance of exercises. The 10th Edition includes improvements and updates to reflect the latest modern C++ language features, including tuples, lambdas, and new syntactic constructs such as the if statement with initialization.
