Overview

Solving with C++ became the leading book for the CS1 in C++ course. Since then, the number of schools using the book has increased every semester. Now, Professor Savitch is revising the book to include the most current C++ developments and to make it an even more effective teaching tool for you.

New to the Second Edition

Integrates recent C++ developments like the new type bool for writing logical expressions.
Features a new chapter on inheritance.
Includes coverage of the Standard Template Library string class.
Contains new self-test exercises and programming projects as well as other improvements based on classroom experience.

Based on the idea that readers are more likely to use a method successfully if they learn it early, this introductory C++ programming book opens with basic control structures and defining functions. The book has a motivational writing style and careful explanations that guide readers through each topic, building an understanding of C++ and good programming techniques.
