Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects , Brief Edition helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. The text covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes in Tony Gaddis's hallmark accessible, step-by-step presentation. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter, ensuring that the student not only learns how to implement the features and constructs of C++, but why and when to use them.
