Personalize learning with MyLab Programming.

MyLab^™ Programming is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. 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.

• UPDATED! User Interface provides a new streamlined interface based on experienced user feedback. Course creation, configuration, and navigation are now easier than ever.
• EXPANDED! Exercise Editor now allows you to easily create new programming exercises. In addition to assigning the hundreds of programming exercises already available in MyProgrammingLab, you can create and assign programming exercises to customize your course.
• UPDATED! VideoNotes Tutorials provide step-by-step video tutorials specifically designed to enhance the programming concepts presented in Introduction to Java Programming. Students can view the entire problem-solving process outside of the classroom—when they need help the most.
• The Plagiarism Detection Tool alerts instructors of potential plagiarism issues by checking:
• Students’ average submission rate
• Students’ average number of attempts until correct

About the Book

• The material on the Standard Template Library (STL) has been completely rewritten and expanded into its own chapter. Previously, Chapter 16 covered exceptions, templates, and gave brief coverage to the STL. In this edition, Chapter 16 covers exceptions and templates, and Chapter 17 is a new chapter dedicated to the STL. The new chapter covers the following topics:
• The array  and vector  classes
• The various types of iterators
• Emplacement versus insertion
• The map , multimap , and unordered_map  Classes
• The set , multiset , and unordered_set  Classes
• Sorting and searching algorithms
• Permutation algorithms
• Set algorithms
• Using function pointers with STL algorithms
• Function objects, or functors
• Lambda expressions
• Chapter 2 now includes a discussion of alternative forms of variable initialization, including functional notation, and brace notation (also known as uniform initialization).
• Chapter 3 now mentions the round  function, introduced in C++ 11.
• Chapter 7 now introduces array initialization much earlier.
• In Chapter 8, the bubble sort algorithm has been rewritten and improved.
• A new example of sorting and searching a vector  of strings has been added to Chapter 8.
• In Chapter 9, the section on smart pointers now gives an overview of shared_ptr s and weak_ptr s, in addition to the existing coverage of unique_ptr s.
• In Chapter 10, a new In the Spotlight  section on string tokenizing has been added.
• Chapter 10 now covers the string -to-number conversion functions that were introduced in C++ 11.
• The material on unions that previously appeared in Chapter 11 has been moved to Appendix K, available on the book’s companion Website.
• Chapter 13 has new sections covering:
• Member initialization lists.
• In-place initialization.
• Constructor delegation.
• Several new topics were added to Chapter 14, including:
• Rvalue references and move semantics.
• Checking for self-assignment when overloading the =  operator.
• Using member initialization lists in aggregate classes.
• Chapter 15 includes a new section on constructor inheritance.
• Several new programming problems have been added throughout the book.
