C++ And Object Oriented Programming Paradigm

Earlier two editions of this practice-oriented book have been well accepted over the past decade by students, teachers and professionals. Inspired by the avid response, the author is enthused to bring out the third edition, improving upon the concepts with glimpses of C++11 features. This book presents a unique blending of C++ as one of the most widely used programming languages of today in the backdrop of object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm and modelling. Along with an overview of C++ programming and basic object-oriented (OO) concepts, it also provides the standard and advanced features of C++ for further study. The text establishes the philosophy of OOP by highlighting the core features of C++ and demonstrating the semantic differences between the procedural paradigm of C and the object-oriented paradigm of C++. The present edition updates and elaborates on the following topics: Reference data types Inline functions Parameter passing–passing pointers by value as well as by reference Polymorphism: overloading and overriding Lambda expressions and anonymous functions Rvalue reference, move constructor and assignment operator Phases of software development UML Primarily intended as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of engineering, computer applications and management, and also to practicing professionals, the book should also prove to be a stimulating study as a reference for all those who have a keen interest in the subject. This book which treats C++, one of the most widely used programming languages of today, and object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, has been well received by the readers, and this enthusiastic response has prompted the author to bring out this second edition. This revised and updated new edition takes into account the recent trends in C++ and OOP. The book continues to give an overview of programming as well as an introduction to basic object-oriented (OO) concepts and elements of C. It also provides the standard and advanced features of C++ for further study. The text establishes the philosophy of OOP by highlighting the core features of C++ and demonstrating the semantic differences between C as a procedural paradigm and the object-oriented paradigm of C++. This new edition updates and elaborates on the following reference data types; inline functions; two's complement representation of signed numbers; parameter passing - passing pointers by value as well as by reference; polymorphism; searching and sorting algorithms; implementation of linked list; phases of software development; and UML. Primarily intended as a text for undergraduate students of engineering (B.Tech.) , undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer applications (BCA/MCA), and postgraduate students of management, the book should also prove to be a stimulating study for all those who have a keen interest in the subject.
