Editorial Reviews

A fully revised, book/disk edition of Lafore's 1991 C++ tutorial, covering programming in C++ on the Borland and Turbo compilers. Does not assume any knowledge of C programming. Covers C++ fundamentals including loops and decisions, overloading, pointers, and input/output, and advanced topics such as Borland BGO graphics and the Borland C++ class library. Features programming examples, and exercises with solutions. The accompanying disk contains all source code for examples. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
