About the Book

The Third Edition Update of this best-selling book includes a completely updated “On to C++” chapter, a free copy of Borland's Enterprise C compiler, and a new appendix on how to set-up and use this compiler. This text maintains its classic features like the gradual introduction of pointers and the connection between problem solving skills and effective software development. It features early coverage of functions, logical operators, and operators with side effects.
