Problem Solving with C++: The Object of Programming - Softcover

Problem Solving with C++, 4e is a revision of one of the leading books for courses introducing programming in C++. The text explains C++ and basic programming techniques in a way suitable for beginning students. This book adapts to the syllabus created by the instructor rather than making you adapt to the book. The order in which the chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without loss of continuity in reading the text. The book teaches students how to define their own classes, while ensuring a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. A measured approach is taken toward classes, teaching students how to write simple classes at first, then constructors are added, then overloading simple operators, then overloading the I/O operators <<<< and >>>>, and so forth. By defining their own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience not provided by those texts that merely teach how to use classes in the beginning.

Walter Savitch is a professor of computer science at the University of California, San Diego, where he has been one of the main designers of the computer science curriculum. A well-known and respected author and educator, he has most recently written Problem Solving with C++: The Object of Programming, Third Edition and Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++, Second Edition (with Michael Main). Prof. Savitch has long been heralded by instructors and students alike for his engaging and accessible writing style. Absolute C++ will continue to benefit from these talents and earn more praise as it caters to the needs of everyone in the classroom.
