Programming with ANSI C++ 2/e is thoroughly updated while preserving the essence of the original edition. It provides a fine balance between theory and practice by an in-depth coverage of both elementary as well as advanced topics.

Starting with an introduction to object-oriented paradigm and an overview of C++, it gradually moves on to analyse in detail important concepts such as classes, objects, functions, constructors and destructors, operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling. Besides, there are dedicated chapters on templates, RTTI and casting operators, streams, files, namespaces, string objects, and STL.
