About the Book
Walter Savitch's Problem Solving with
C++, Fifth Edition is available with Savitch's Visual C++ .NET Companion,
providing everything needed to learn to write and run C++ programs in the
Visual
C++ .NET environment. Problem Solving with C++ teaches programming technique
and the C++ language, while the Visual C++ .NET Companion discusses Visual
C++ .NET-part of Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET. A DVD featuring a trial
edition of Visual Studio .NET is also included.
This book 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 elarn how to define their own classes whilel
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.
