Overview
In the tradition of Pascal and Turbo Pascal, authors Nell Dale and Chip Weems have teamed up with Mark Headington to offer Programming and Problem Solving with C++ for students in the CS1/C101 course. Written in the same style as the successful Pascal books, this text provides an accessible introduction to programming using C++ for beginning students. The first half of the text gives students a solid foundation in top-down programming techniques. The second half builds on this foundation and explains ADTs, the C++ class, encapsulation, information hiding, and object-oriented software development.Editorials
This computer science textbook introduces the basic control structures of the C++ programming language before shifting the focus to abstract data types. The authors cover standard library functions, simple arithmetic expressions, looping operations, the C++ class mechanism, arrays, lists, object-oriented programming, and pointers. The third edition adds a chapter on templates and exceptions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Provides a foundation in algorithm development and functional decomposition design methodology, building on these with exploration of ADTs, the C++ class, encapsulation, information hiding, and object-oriented software development. Pedagogy employs case studies, with sections on testing and debugging sections, five types of exercises. Newly featured in the second edition is conformance to ISO/ANSI standard C++ (officially approved in July, 1998) and added introductory materials. Dale, Chip Weems, and Mark Headington are from the U. of Texas, Austin; U. of Massachusetts, Amherst; and U. of Wisconsin, La Crosse, respectively. Annotation c.
