Comments from the C++ How to Program, 6/e and 7/e Reviewers "Finally, an accurate and complete C++ book that everybody can understand. It will help you achieve a solid knowledge of C++ and of software engineering in general. A ‘must-have.’ — José Antonio González Seco, Parliament of Andalusia, Spain "As an instructor, I appreciate the thorough discussion of the C++ language, especially the comprehensive use of code examples and demonstrations of best coding practices. For my consulting work I use the Deitel books as my primary reference." — Dean Mathias, Utah State University "Chapter 12, Object-Oriented Programming: Inheritance, is so well done. It’s evident that the authors are diligent and focused on quality!" — David Topham, Ohlone College "Just when you think you are focused on learning one topic, suddenly you discover you’ve learned more than you expected." — Chad Willwerth, University of Washington, Tacoma "Accessible to beginners. The example-driven presentation is enriched by the optional UML case study that contextualizes the material in a software engineering project." — Gavin Osborne, Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology "The Deitel & Deitel How to Program Series provides a complete basis of fundamental instruction in all core aspects of C++. Comprehensive discussion and examples provide a solid grounding in the construction of C++ programs." — Peter DePasquale, The College of New Jersey "Code examples are well presented and easy to read. . . Very impressive that so many resources are identified. . . and mostly free, too!" — David Topham, Ohlone College "The Pointers chapter clearly explains a complex subject. The Simpletron exercises are simply brilliant. The Polymorphism chapter explains one of the hardest topics to understand in OOP in a clear manner. Great job! The writing is excellent, the examples are well developed and the exercises are interesting." — José Antonio González Seco, Parliament of Andalusia, Spain "Introducing the UML early on is a great idea." — Raymond Stephenson, Microsoft "Good use of diagrams, especially of the activation call stack and recursive functions." — Amar Raheja, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona "Terrific discussion of pointers–the best I have seen." — Anne B. Horton, Lockheed Martin "Very good, thorough and detailed coverage of exceptions from an object-oriented point of view." — Dean Mathias, Utah State University "I wish I'd had such a clear presentation of data structures when I was a student. Great coverage of polymorphism and how the compiler implements polymorphism ‘under the hood.’" — Ed James-Beckham, Borland "Replete with real-world case studies covering the full software development lifecycle. Code examples are extraordinary!" — Terrell Hull, Logicalis Integration Solutions "Aimed at someone new to C++, this is a good introduction to the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) with clear descriptions, examples and plenty of useful tips. The example code is excellent: clean, well documented, with extensive descriptions of what the code is doing and why." — Chris Cox, Adobe Systems "A nice introduction to searching and sorting, and Big-O." — Robert Myers, Florida State University "Chapter 20, Data Structures, is very good. The examples are accessible to CS, IT, software engineering and business students." — Thomas J. Borrelli, Rochester Institute of Technology "The best book on C++ programming for the serious student! Excellent introduction to the Standard Template Library (STL)." — Richard Albright, Goldey-Beacom College "Ogre is a free world-class rendering engine that has been used in several commercial games. The Ogre chapter is a great introduction, providing well documented and easy to understand examples that will have you creating your own simple computer games in no time." — Casey Borders (Creator of OgreAL), Sensis Corp. "The Boost/C++0x chapter will get you up and running quickly with the memory management and regular expression libraries, plus whet your appetite for new C++ features being standardized." — Ed Brey, Kohler Co.

The Late Objects Version delays coverage of class development until Chapter 9, presenting control statements, functions, arrays and pointers in a non-object-oriented, procedural programming context. Fundamental topics (control statements, functions, arrays and pointers) are covered near the beginning of the book and before object-oriented programming. Emphasizes top-down, stepwise refinement with pseudocode. Late-Objects Approach. The authors briefly introduce the basic concepts and terminology of object technology in Chapter 1—this section can be deferred to the beginning of Chapter 9 by instructors who wish to teach only procedural programming in the early chapters. Students will develop their first customized classes and objects in Chapter 9. Objects can be covered near the end of the CS1 course or at the beginning of CS2. Sequential File Processing. Sequential file processing in Chapter 8. This enables instructors to teach these topics in a first course if they wish. Random-access file processing is covered in Chapter 17. VideoNotes. On the book’s Companion Website, extensive VideoNotes walk you through all of the code examples in Chapters 2–13 and a portion of Chapter 16. The companion website also includes solutions to many of the book’s exercises, bonus chapters, and more. Making a Difference Exercises. The dozens of Making a Difference exercises explore complex and challenging social issues, including global warming, population growth, gender neutrality, computerization of health records, alternative tax plans, hybrid vehicles, accessibility for people with disabilities and more. A complete list of the Making a Difference exercises is available at www.deitel.com/ books/cpphtp7LOV/. Prefer string Objects to C Strings. C++ offers two types of strings—string class objects (which are used starting in Chapter 6) and C-style, pointer-based strings. Some early discussions of C strings are included to give practice with pointer manipulations, to illustrate dynamicmemory allocation with new and delete and to prepare students for working with Cstrings in the “legacy code” that they’ll encounter in industry. In new development, students should favor string class objects, so instances of C++ class string are used to make programs more robust and eliminate many of the security problems that can be caused by manipulating C strings. Prefer vectors to C Arrays. Similarly, C++ offers two types of arrays—vector class objects (which are used starting in Chapter 6) and C-style, pointer-based arrays. As appropriate, class template vector is used instead of C arrays throughout the book. However, the authors begin discussing C arrays in Chapter 6 to prepare students for working with legacy code and to use them as a basis for building their own customized Array class in Chapter 11, Operator Overloading. Titled Programming Exercises. Programming exercises are titled to help instructors select assignments for their classes. Consistent Use of const. Keyword const is used throughout to encourage better software engineering. Function Pointer Exercises. Several real-world function-pointers exercises are available at the Companion Website. Terminology Sections. Page numbers are included for the defining occurrences of all terms in the terminology lists for easy reference.
