Problem Solving in C++: Including Breadth and Laboratories, Second Edition

This text introduces the beginning computer science student to the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and debugging of programs using ANSI C++, and to the breadth and richness of the computer science discipline. With ample use of examples and figures, the authors present material in a clear, visual manner.

Shiflet (Wofford College) and Nagin (Hofstra University) introduce beginning computer science students to the analysis, design, testing, implementation, and debugging of programs using C++. After an introduction to object-oriented programming, functions and classes are presented, followed by an introduction to data types and syntax, so that programming principles and problem solving evolve as language constructs are developed. Exercises, projects, and labs are included. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
