Problem with my programming book
Hello, I'm studying C++ with the book : programming priciples and practice using C++, my problem is that the exercises requires to use tools not shown yet by the author, on the user group of this book an user told me that i should use the book in a cross reference way and going to study things in later chapter to understand the text i'm reading.For example the author in chapter 3 just show the if statement without explaing how it works but it mention the page on chapter 4 where it is explained, should i go and study that page or just waiting and study all the other pages before that ?
Check this one out on youtube. The best I know.

If you're having trouble understanding how a particular construct works, then go ahead and skip to the part which discusses it in more detail. Alternatively, you can look up specific language features on this or another site to get a description on how a particular feature works and its syntax, etc...

In general, I think that that particular book is one of the better C++ books out there for people who already have at least a general understanding of programming. But it can be pretty rough for someone completely green.
Also, you have forums like this full of knowledgeable people willing to help and answer questions. If only there had been something like this for me back in 1987, I might not have killed all those homeless people to relieve stress.

when i said reference i didnt mean a bible .
As Esselecruffi says,
A introductory book to C++ should explain every single bit of stuff before using it in code.
I learned with Prentice Hall CPP how to program by Deitel

What that particular book does, that many C++ primers don't, is that it actually focuses more on how to use the language to solve realistic problems, rather than on just telling you the different constructs and showing you how to use it in a tiny example.

This is the easiest book for beginners:
