Mini Projects with C and C++

by Ritesh Shrivastav

Learning C/C++ is one thing. Integrating all that one has learnt into professional level software is a totally different cup of tea. There are many good books that teach you different concept in C/C++ in their various garbs. Reading them however may leave you incomplete. This is perhaps because these books time and again tell you that C/C++ can be used to develop bestselling softwares like Lotus 1-2-3, dBASE, WordStar and what not. But rarely does any one of them tell you how. It is this lacuna that this book attempts to fill. I have tired to develop and explain full-fledged softwares; sand prepared with error checks wherever they were relevant. I have tried to cover as wide a cross section of software as possible. And I wish to humbly
state that there are many more which remain to be covered. You can pick up any chapter – from the beginning, the middle or the end. Each chapter is independent, unserialised and distinct. This book doesn’t attempt to teach you C/C++. It expects that you know C/C++ and then proceeds to use it to
develop real world software.
This book is packed with more than 5700 lines of C/C++ source code. All programs on the disk have been checked umpteen times. However, it’s only human that a comma here semicolon there may have gone awry. Any mistakes that you may locate all are mine.
