Chapter 5. Classes and Structures

The first programming language that I learned was BASIC. It was a good language to begin programming with, but once I traded in my Commodore Vic-20 for a PCjr (yes, I had a PCjr and I really enjoyed it), I realized that there were other, more advanced languages out there, and I spent a lot of time learning Pascal and C. It wasn't until I started college that I heard the term object-oriented language. At that time, object-oriented languages were so new that there were no real courses on them, but I was able to experiment a little with C++. After I graduated, I left object-oriented programming behind, and it really wasn't until several years later when I started to experiment with C++ again that I really discovered the power and flexibility of object-oriented programming.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

What are classes and structures?
How to add properties and property observers to classes and structures?
How to add methods...
