About the Book
Problem Solving with C++, 5e brings
the best-selling text book for introducing C++ to fully embrace the most
up-to-date C++ standards. Suitable for beginning students, the text covers
C++ and basic programming techniques. Students will learn how to define
their own classes while gaining a solid understanding of basic tools such
as simple control structures and function definitions. By defining their
own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience unrivaled
by any other text on the market.
Flexible by design, the order in which
chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without any loss
on continuity in reading. Instructors can therefore mold this text around
the way they want to teach rather than have the text dictate their course's
organization.
Features
-
Contains complete chapters on Inheritance,
Exception Handling, and Templates.
-
Creates a flexible style written with a measured
approach to classes designed to allow classes to be covered at any time.
-
Presents C++ examples in the context of complete,
fully executable C++ programs that can be downloaded from the World Wide
Web for manipulation.
-
Includes numerous case studies and examples
that demonstrate programming and C++ topics and instill good program habits.
-
Maintains extensive pedagogy of exercises,
programming projects, programming tips, programming examples, programming
pitfalls, and summary boxes, all used to make the material understandable
for readers.
-
Uses a friendly and motivational writing style
that is appropriate for beginners.
-
Available in a special Visual C++ edition
that includes this book with Savitch's Visual C++ for .Net Companion, including
the Visual C++ compiler.
