Pearson - Introduction to Programming with C++, 2/E

In this section:

Description

For undergraduate students in Computer Science and Computer Programming courses.

A solid foundation in the basics of C++ programming will allow students to create efficient, elegant code ready for any production environment.

Learning basic logic and fundamental programming techniques are essential for new programmers to succeed. A distinctive fundamentals-first approach and clear, concise writing style characterize this unique text. Basic programming concepts are introduced on control statements, loops, functions, and arrays before object-oriented programming is discussed. Abstract concepts are carefully and concretely explained using simple, short, and stimulating examples. Explanations are presented in brief segments, with many figures and tables.

This second edition has been updated with new advances in technology as well as a variety of new problem-solving examples. There are over 200 examples and 500 exercises to help students learn.

Features

Systematic and Coherent Coverage: Helps students learn fundamental programming techniques (selection statements, loops, functions, and arrays).

Problem-driven Focus: Students learn to approach programming as a method for problem-solving by beginning with a discussion of obstacles and goals. Examples range in subject from games and science, to financial and mathematical.

Step-by-step Presentation: Students to learn all essential subjects in C++ incrementally from fundamental programming techniques to object-oriented programming, from simple functions to STL, from simple data types to classic structures.

Object-oriented Programming: A thorough introduction on primitive data types, control statements, functions, and arrays prepares students to learn object-oriented programming.

Text-specific Website: The author maintains a website at http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/cpp/c++instructor.html that includes PowerPoint slides, solutions to all exercises, and a QuizGenerator.

Student Microsoft Visual C++ CD: The latest C++ software is bound into the new editions of Introduction to Programming with C++ for student download.

New To This Edition

NEW! Chapter 10: This chapter focuses on class design and explores the differences between the procedural paradigm and object-oriented paradigm and helps students to transition from one to the other.

NEW! Chapter 11: Pointers and dynamic memory management are introduced along with copy constructors and destructors to enable instructors to cover these related topics in one chapter.

NEW! Chapter 18, “Algorithm Efficiency”: This chapter uses many concrete examples to introduce algorithm analysis and design.

NEW! Online Bonus Chapters 21-26: These introduce graph algorithms and applications and AVL trees. Bonus chapters are available from the companion Website.
