A clear and student-friendly way to teach the fundamentals of C++

Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objectscovers control structures, functions, arrays,

and pointers before objects and classes in Tony Gaddis’s hallmark accessible, step-by-step presentation. His books help beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the C++ programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”–but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. His approach is gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter. Updates to the 9th Edition include revised, improved problems throughout and a new chapter featuring completely rewritten and expanded material on the Standard Template Library (STL).

Also Available with MyLab Programming.

MyLab Programming consists of programming exercises correlated to the concepts and objectives in this book. Through practice exercises and immediate, personalized feedback, MyLab Programming improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts of programming languages.

Got this book for my cmpsci class in college. It’s a good book, I learn sooo much from it and I pretty much use it to teach myself C++ since my professor isn’t a great teacher. It is very detailed/informative, very readable, and has lots of example code and exercises. Only complaint is how huge it is lol, I try to avoid carrying it around with me and just keep it at home

Full of knowledge, great value when you rent.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The book itself has many examples for each chapter that will allow you to do the homework. My recommendation is to practice with the programing challenges. Personally, they're fun because they allow you to be creative in how you make a program. If this is your first time programming, I definitely recommend this book for self teaching.

Use onlingbd to code your programs, it's an easy to use online compiler where you can save your work. The only drawback of the book perhaps is I think the chapter could have been shorter rather than containing so much. That would have allowed me to understand each topic better.

5 stars for the book. 1 for the eBook
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024
Verified Purchase
This is a good textbook, but the "Kindle" edition is absolute rubbish. It looks exactly like someone made it with a smartphone camera/scanning app.

Whatever OCR they used didn't work very well, so the text is not searchable and cutting/pasting is more trouble than it is worth.

A lot of the pages are upside down, which makes it a real pain to read. Some examples of this are on pages 442, 462, 495 and 619, but there are many many more.

This is the worst attempt at an eBook that I have ever seen. Even pirates produce better quality work. Shame.

Get the hard copy. If you can't afford it new, I am sure there are plenty used copies available. Or rent it. The eBook isn't worth 20 pennies, let alone dollars.

Solid Book
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Great examples and as easy to read as a computer science book could be. I think it covers a lot of material but I have also noticed in later sections that it skimps on some programming as in there was a section dedicated to doubly linked lists in the linked lists section but no example given. Maybe because that's covered more in Data structure but that would've been nice. Easy on the eyes (to a 21 year old male) and good code examples with plenty of explanation as to how programs are working. Nothing really bad to say

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This is in reference to the 9th edition. The content of the chapters is clear enough to understand and use for learning, but as it is a textbook for the course I'm taking, the assignments are from the book. This wasn't an issue until chapter 5 where the Programming Challenges expect that you will go to the Companion website and download the source code. The catch is that there is no source code on the companion site, thus making it impossible to complete the assignments as written.

The preface states that the source code for all the chapters will be available under student resources on the companion site, but this is a lie. I called Pearson support, and after 30 minutes of investigation they were able to inform me that source code is not available for the 9th edition, because the author did not provide it. I'm giving it three stars on the basis of it being a pricey text book, but failing to provide the necessary resources to complete the assignments.

As a standalone textbook... it is acceptable. Without access code... you should try other textbooks
Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are just buying the textbook alone (ie without using the access code at all), I wouldn't recommend this textbook.

The content of the textbook is fairly well presented. The author does explain explain the examples reasonably well. However, as a standalone textbook, you will not have access to solutions/ answers at the end of each chapter.

So if you want to code in C++ and you want some sort of feedback, then you will need the access code as well. But if you want a basic understanding of C++ in general without any practice, then by all means buy this product.

If you want to practice coding in C++ and learn C++, I would suggest the Pearson REVEL C++ by Daniel Liang. At the very least, you get some feedback on whether your code is considered correct. The upside is that it is a cheaper alternative and you will get to see if your code is accepted as a possible solution, but the downside is you only receive access the book for a year.
