Dedication
This book is dedicated to the living memory of David Levine.
Acknowledgments
A second edition is a second chance to acknowledge and to thank those folks without whose support
and help this book literally would have been impossible. First among them are Stacey, Robin, and
Rachel Liberty.
I must also thank everyone associated with my books, both at Sams and at Wrox press, for being
professionals of the highest quality. The editors at Sams did a fantastic job, and I must especially
acknowledge and thank Fran Hatton, Mary Ann Abramson, Greg Guntle, and Chris Denny.
I have taught an online course based on this book for a couple years, and many folks there contributed
to finding and eradicating bugs and errors. A very large debt is owed to these folks, and I must
especially thank Greg Newman, Corrinne Thompson, and also Katherine Prouty and Jennifer
Goldman.
I would also like to acknowledge the folks who taught me how to program: Skip Gilbrech and David
McCune, and those who taught me C++, including Steve Rogers and Stephen Zagieboylo. I want
particularly to thank Mike Kraley, Ed Belove, Patrick Johnson, Mike Rothman, and Sangam Pant, all
of whom taught me how to manage a project and ship a product.
Others who contributed directly or indirectly to this book include: Scott Boag, David Bogartz, Gene
Broadway, Drew and Al Carlson, Frank Childs, Jim Culbert, Thomas Dobbing, James Efstratiou,
 David Heath, Eric Helliwell, Gisele and Ed Herlihy, Mushtaq Khalique, Matt Kingman, Steve Leland,
Michael Smith, Frank Tino, Donovan White, Mark Woodbury, Wayne Wylupski, and Alan Zeitchek.
Programming is as much a business and creative experience as it is a technical one, and I must
therefore acknowledge Tom Hottenstein, Jay Leve, David Rollert, David Shnaider, and Robert
Spielvogel.
Finally, I'd like to thank Mrs. Kalish, who taught my sixth-grade class how to do binary arithmetic in
1965, when neither she nor we knew why.

Introduction
This book is designed to help you teach yourself how to program with C++. In just 21 days, you'll
learn about such fundamentals as managing I/O, loops and arrays, object-oriented programming,
templates, and creating C++ applications--all in well-structured and easy-to-follow lessons. Lessons
provide sample listings--complete with sample output and an analysis of the code--to illustrate the
topics of the day. Syntax examples are clearly marked for handy reference.
