I'm completely newbie and also not good at math either:confused:

and also what is the best IDE for C++? visual studio or bloodshed Dev c++?

There's a recommendations thread at the top of this board:

But the best beginners book is Accelerated C++. The best ide is whichever one you're most comfortable with.

I used these ones:
C How to Program
C++ How to Program
Deitel & Associates Inc.

I suppose if you have two C-notes burning a hole in your pocket, you could get those two (last I checked, they were both over $100). Personally, I'm not willing to pay more for two beginner's texts than I did for the entire Knuth series. Somehow I doubt the return on investment is worth it.

I agree ... both are very expensive, but you can find used books (in amazon.com for example) for less then 50% of the list price of new books.
Here in Brasil, those books are very dificult to find and are very expensive too.

If you are a beginner I reccomend "C++ for dummies 5TH EDITION "
its simple amusing yet affective.

This thread is already about 2 years old, and you're still replying in it.
If someone wants to read a good book about C++, then he can check out the sticky about that.
