For undergraduate-level courses in C++ programming in departments of Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Information Management, and Management Science. Pure C++ Programming is the second book in the Pure C and C++ textbook series. Intended for students with computer skills and basic knowledge of the C programming language, it starts with a C to C++ transition chapter, moves to the C++ introductory/intermediate level, and then moves up to more complex C++ concepts.Pure C++ Programming is designed to fill the significant gap between other available C++ books that jumps from the simplistic "for dummies" books to reference books and manuals for experienced programmers. Current, accurate, and rich with diagrams and complete example programs, the text is a general purpose C++ text-designed for students with computer skills, but no experience with C++ programming. The text focuses on "pure" C++ language concepts and syntax according to current standards-and not on programming design techniques, program development methodologies, specific business or science applications, or any specific compilers or development environments.This general purpose approach provides students with a solid C++ foundation-so they can apply C++ programming to a variety of environments, and can move on to more advanced/reference type books and compiler help facilities with ease and confidence.
