About the Book

This book offers solid, effective and easy to understand approach to the study of fundamental Object Oriented Programming. The book is a boon for general readers, C++ Professionals, and students from both graduate and postgraduate courses in computer engineering, who are inquisitive to explore each and every aspect of OOPS and C++. It renders expansive information about a wide array of topics like C++, arrays, structures, unions, bit fields, functions, pointers, template, exception handling, file handling and graphics with numerous examples. The text comprises fourteen chapters and each chapter is further divided into modules of major topics. Each module has a uniform structured presentation starting with learning objective, declaration, implementation, example programs, operations, and types, summary, multiple choice sections, programming assignments, review questions followed by the solution of the programming assignments.
