Tony Gaddis’s accessible‎,‎ step‎-by‎-step presentation 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.‎ His approach is both gradual and highly accessible‎,‎ ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high‎-quality programs‎.‎In Starting Out with C++‎:‎ From Control Structures through Objects‎,‎ Gaddis 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.‎MyProgrammingLab‎,‎ Pearson‎'‎s new online homework and assessment tool‎,‎ is available with this edition‎.‎
