Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects 7e


Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects 7th Edition by Tony Gaddis helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the C++ programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”–but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. The approach is both gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs. Author covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. 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. This text is intended for either a one-semester accelerated introductory course or a traditional two-semester sequence covering C++ programming.

This edition is available with MyProgrammingLab, an innovative online homework and assessment tool. Through the power of practice and immediate personalized feedback, MyProgrammingLab helps students fully grasp the logic, semantics, and syntax of programming. Control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers are covered before objects and classes.

A clear and student-friendly writing style simplifies programming processes for beginning programmers with two to three stepped-out examples following each major concept. There are concise real-world examples that students understand and relate to foster motivation and retention. A variety of exercises in each chapter encourage students to put concepts to work as they are learned. Source code is provided so students can run the programs themselves.

This edition uses string objects, instead of char arrays, to store strings. This change has been made throughout the entire book, except in Chapter 10 where C-strings and the technique of storing strings in char arrays is discussed. All of the introductory file I/O material has been consolidated and moved to Chapter 5. In previous editions, Chapter 3 gave a limited introduction to file I/O, Chapter 4 discussed testing for file open errors, and then Chapter 5 discussed processing files with loops. Many reviewers requested that all this material be given in one place, after loops have been covered.
