• Sommario/riassunto: An ideal starting point to get a strong grasp of the fundamentals of C++ C++ is an object-oriented programming language commonly adopted by would-be programmers. This book explores the basic development concepts and techniques of C++ and explains the ""how"" and ""why"" of C++ programming from the ground up. You'll discover what goes into creating a program, as well as how to put the various pieces together, deal with standard programming challenges, handle debugging, and make it all work.Details the basics of C++ programming and explores the ""how"" and ""why"" of this obje
