Complete programs Each major concept illustrated with a complete program that always contains a highlighted run. Easy-to-use graphics software Introduces object technology concepts. It creates objects for drawing circles, rectangles, polygons, lines and text, and is used for demonstration programs and exercises in most of the chapters. Implementations are available for Windows and X on a UNIX system. Technical and programming notes Highlight particularly important or difficult material. Coverage of templates, operator overloading, dynamic memory, linked lists, and inheritance.
