The world is Object oriented and since programmers live in this world it is natural that they too approach the problems that they are trying to solve in an object oriented manner. To harness the power of object oriented programming most professional programmers choose C++. Introduction to Object Oriented Programming & C++ teaches you both of these things in Yashwants Kanetkar's inimitable style.Salient Features:OO & Procedural Programming,C++ Elements,Functions- Inline, Friends, etc.Type Conversions,Pointers,STL,Virtual Functions Mechanism,Stream I/O,Manipulators,Exception handling,Creating Class Libraries,Templates,Once you start reading this book you would experience that it makes learning OOP and C++ incredibly easy. Each topic in this book is highlighted by clear and direct examples. It will not only serve as your tutorial but it is likely to be the first thing that you would reach for when faced with a confusing issue.
