Introduction
Welcome to C++ Essentials For Dummies. This book contains the basic information you need to know to get going with C++ programming. You’ll learn how to install and run the compiler, write programs, and use important C++ features like arrays, classes, and pointers to do good object-oriented programming.
C++ is a large and complex language. But whether you’re just learning to program or you’re an expert in other programming languages, this book contains the essentials of the language for you to quickly become a C++ programmer.
About This Book
C++ Essentials For Dummies contains the information you need to start writing C++ programs. You can compile and run the example programs with the latest C++ 20 version of the compiler, but you can also use the earlier C++ 14 and C++ 17 versions.
This book is not a comprehensive reference for C++. To go beyond what this book covers, your next book should be C++ All-in-One For Dummies, 4th Edition by John Paul Mueller, from which this book is derived. However, this book will get you up and running fast with its easy-to-follow For Dummies format.
Foolish Assumptions
We made a few basic assumptions about you, the reader:
You own or have access to a relatively modern computer.
The C++ example programs were tested on a Windows computer, but the book shows how to compile and run them just as easily on a Mac or Linux computer.
You’re an experienced computer user.
In other words, we assume that you know the basics of using your computer, such as starting programs and working with the file system.
You’re interested in learning how to write programs in the C++ language.
That’s what this book is about, so it’s a fair assumption.
We do not assume you have any previous programming experience in C++ or in any other programming language.
Icons Used in This Book
Like any For Dummies book, this book is chock-full of helpful icons that draw your attention to items of particular importance. You find the following icons throughout this book:
Danger! This icon highlights information that may help you avert disaster.
Did we tell you about the memory course we took?
Pay special attention to this icon; it lets you know that some particularly useful tidbit is at hand.
Where to Go from Here
If you’re new to programming, you’ll benefit most from this book by reading it from start to end. But if you’re familiar with programming in another language, especially an object-oriented language like Java, you can pick and choose which chapters and topics to read to learn what’s unique about C++.
