API, an abbreviation of application program interface, is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A...

Overloading binary operators can be overloaded just as easily as unary operators. We’ll look at examples that overload arithmetic operators, comparison operators, and arithmetic assignment operators. Arithmetic Operators In the...
Let’s start off by overloading a unary operators. unary operators act on only one operand. (An operand is simply a variable acted on by an operator.) Examples of unary operators are the increment and decrement operators ++ and...
We noted at the beginning of this chapter that two kinds of strings are commonly used in C++: C-strings and strings that are objects of the string class. In this section we’ll describe the first kind, which fits the theme of...
We’ve seen how an object can contain an array. We can also reverse that situation and create an arrays of objects. We’ll look at two situations: an array of English distances and a deck of cards. Arrays of English...
An agile process reduces the agility and cost of change because software is released in increments and change can be better controlled within an increment. Agility argue that a well designed agile process “flattens” the cost...
The best software process is personal and team process model one that is close to the people who will be doing the work. Watts Humphrey proposed two process models. Models “Personal Software Process (PSP)” and “Team...
Unified process (UP) is an architecture centric, use case driven, iterative and incremental development process. UP is also referred to as the unified software development process. The Unified Process is an attempt to draw on...
Component Based Development The component based development model incorporates many of the characteristics of the spiral model. It is evolutionary in nature, Specialized process model demanding an iterative approach to the...
Prescriptive process model were originally proposed to bring order to the chaos of software development. Prescriptive process model define a prescribed set of process elements and a predictable process work...
