    About this ebook

    This book is for absolute beginners with or without prior knowledge in programming, as this book uses Simple words, Short sentences, and Straightforward paragraphs. The triple S way of learning C++ programming. C++ (pronounced as cee plus plus) is a general-purpose programming language. The main object of C++ is to add object-orientation to its predecessor C language. C++ has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. There are also other useful features added to C++ such as inheritance and polymorphism. The topics covered in this book includes brief introduction to C++ programming, variables, data types, control structures, functions, pointers, and file management of external files. This book starts its discussion from short history to installation of the needed software resource and a step by step screen shots of how to write C++ programming code, compile and execute C++ programs. It presents graphical representation of algorithms for simpler learning. This book is packed with working and running C++ program samples and after reading this book, the reader would be able to develop and create C++ language programs based particularly from problems given in computer science courses, hence, adopting to other programming language will be a lot easier. This book is your initial step in your programming career.

      Chapter 1 - Starting C++ Language Programming

      This chapter presents a brief overview of C++ programming. C++ was designed with a basis toward system programming with high performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights. This chapter presents the things needed in starting C++ programming.

      Brief history of C++

      The C++ programming language has a history path in 1979. Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, is working with the language called Simula, which is a language principally intended for simulations. The Simula 67 language underpins object-oriented programming paradigm. Stroustup started working with C with classes. C is considered as middle-level language which has the power of Low-level language but has high-level language features and C is considered as the predecessor of C++. Bjarne Stroustrup, at Bell Labs designed C++ in the early 80s, as an object oriented language based on the C language, which powered pretty much all systems software since its creation in 1972. The first C with Classes compiler was called Cfront, which was derived from a C compiler called CPre. C++'s goal is to add object-oriented programming into C language. The ++ operator in the C language is an operator for incrementing a variable, which gives some insight into how Stroustrup regarded the language. In 1985, Stroustrup's reference to the language entitled The C++ Programming Language was published.

      Reasons to use C++

      To start with, C++ is highly recommended for beginning programmers in starting their programming career because C++ covers both procedural and object-oriented programming approach. Once someone learned the concepts behind programming language with C++, adopting or migrating to other programming language will be a lot easier whether it's object-oriented or procedural-oriented programming, as most of the things needed are pretty similar.

      C++ has been around a while and it has solved several industry challenges considering that it is also the primary language that drives the mobile experience today. In addition to high performance server and middleware, C++ is a great choice for client side development on the two most popular mobile platforms Android and iOS and the two most popular desktop platforms, Windows and Mac OS X. With the recent introduction of developer tools that enable, among other things, visual design for clients, middleware, and server side apps; C++ is extremely productive and really makes it a great choice for modern app development, so learning the basics of C++ will make someone be competitive in the industry's stiff competition.

      This book will bring the world of C++ programming closer to you.

      Beginning to Program in C++ Language

      All the C++ programs are written into text files with extension .cpp for example hello.cpp, where .cpp is the extension file name. These text files are called source files. The source files contains the C++ source codes and will later be transformed into a running executable file. The program development cycle of C++ language are:

      1. Write the source codes into a text editor (ex: notepad) to create the source file.

      2. Compile the source file to create the object file.

      3. The object file is link into an executable (ex: .exe for windows) file.

      4. Run the program and see the result.

      Based from the program development cycle of C++, notice that there are several things needed which includes a text editor, a compiler, and a linker. The good news is that, for Windows users, there is a software that comprises the three. It is called Dev-C++ which is available at http://bloodshed.net and for the download direct link at http://bloodshed-dev-c.en.softonic.com/download.

      Dev-C++ is a C++ source code editor, a compiler, and a linker. All the things needed in creating a C program.

      Note: You may ought to use other compilers as the sample codes in
