program samples from a book

Aug 19, 2010 at 10:14pm
Hello, i'm gradually working through 'C++ programming -program design and data structures' 4th edition by D.S. Malik which i think is really good(and probably a popular book for beginners). However , many of the programming exercises involve modifying code printed in the book. I don't want to type it in manually. I'm pretty sure the code is out there somewhere and is free to download , but where??. as anyone got it??, or know where i can find it. I'm not looking for the answers to exercises ,just the programs that accompany the various chapters.

Just as a personal tip, I've found that going through books excersizes and typing them out is great practice in learning to implement the ideas that the the program is trying to teach you. It's much easier to learn how to use an idea if you've typed it out already first and you can learn and understand how the program functions as you type it. I'm sorry I can't direct you to the code you're looking for but just wanted to add my personal experience.

If the book doesn't have an official site or anything listed in it, it's possible they don't have any electronic copies anywhere.

I agree with jaeger138, I also just started programming very recently and have found that by typing out the code myself makes me think about what each line of code does and why. Just my .02
