Description: Learn C++ using 'UnderC, ' a unique language interpreter that shows the results of every new technique instantly, so readers learn C++ more quickly. This book's fresh, new approach starts with basic C++ functions and focuses on the most common features.

-- Includes the author's 'UnderC, ' an open-source language interpreter that allows readers to see results instantly without being confused by unrelated concepts.

-- Focused on the C++ features programmers need to use in every application, using a "conversational" approach that allows readers to experiment and learn quickly.

-- Teaches C++ functions before and separate from Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).

C++ by Example starts with the fundamentals of the language, including expressions, variables, functions, and definitions, using the 'UnderC' interpreter to avoid the requirement of fully compiled examples. It then covers the most common C++ features including: organizing data with arrays; standard algorithms and containers; using libraries within C++ programs; going beyond arrays with structures; using pointers; and manipulating data using operators. The second half of the book covers OOP, including classes, inheritance, encapsulation, and more. The final chapters include useful command and library references and appendices covering the preprocessor and freeware C++ compilers.
