This page provides access to lists of corrections and changes for C++ An Introduction to Computing, (2nd Ed., Prentice Hall, 1997) by Joel Adams, Sanford Leestma, and Larry Nyhoff.

We have tried to correct errors with new book printings, but discovered that in early printings, it was also necessary to make other changes due to the changing C++ standard. These changes are also given in the following lists. The most significant ones are in the 3rd and later printings when the C++ standard was finalized.

To determine which printing you have: Look at the descending list of numbers below "Printed in the United States of America" on the page before the preface. The last number in this list is the number of the printing for that book.

• The third and later printings are fully compliant with the final ISO/ANSI C++ Standard . This required a significant number of changes to accomplish this. For example, all programs will use the new library names and the namespace std; for example,

      #include <iostream>
      #include <cstdlib>
      #include <cctype>
      #include <vector>
      using namespace std;
   

• Errors in the second printing

• Changes from the first printing to the second. Many of these were in program listings where we opted to change back to the old " .h" names of libraries (e.g., iostream.h instead of iostream) due to changes being made from one draft of the C++ standard to the next. (We opted to be on safe ground and use the "old" library names!).

We would appreciate your sending us errors as you find them as well as any other comments about the text.
