A Problem-Solving Approach to Programming

In Starting Out With C++: From Control Structures through Objects, Brief Edition, Gaddis takes a problem-solving approach, inspiring students to understand the logic behind developing quality programs while introducing the C++ programming language. This style of teaching builds programming confidence and enhances each student's development of programming skills. This edition in the Starting Out With Series covers the core programming concepts that are introduced in the first semester introductory programming course. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter. TheEighth Edition is updated and revised to reflect changes to the C++ programming language.

MyProgrammingLab for Starting Out With C++ is a total learning package.

MyProgrammingLab helps students fully grasp the logic, semantics, and syntax of programming. Through practice exercises and immediate, personalized feedback, MyProgrammingLab improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts and paradigms of popular high-level programming languages.

MyProgrammingLab consists of hundreds of practice exercises organized around the structure of this textbook. For students, the system automatically detects errors in the logic and syntax of their code submissions and offers targeted hints that enable students to figure out what went wrong—and why. For instructors, a comprehensive gradebook tracks students submissions and provides educators a dynamic tool for monitoring individual and class performance.

Tony Gaddis

Previous editions of this book were called “Standard Version of Starting Out with C++”

“Gaddis’ Starting Out with C++ is superbly crafted and clearly presents all the necessary technical building blocks in a logical order that breeds confidence and competence in students. I speak for my students and myself in saying thank you, Tony, for these superior texts!”

–Peter van der Goes, Rose State College

“I use Starting Out with C++ in my classroom because it does exactly that–starts the student with C++ from the ground up, providing all the tools and answering the tough questions. Without assuming any background knowledge, Gaddis supplies all the essentials for building a strong C++ programmer.”

–Dale Suggs, Campbell University

“Starting Out with C++ is a thorough introduction that provides great support and flexibility for both the student and the instructor. I have never had a complaint from a student about this book. Keep up the good work Tony!”

–Jeanne Douglas, University of Vermont

Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects is the favorite textbook of instructors who place an emphasis on problem-solving and program design in their introduction to C++ course. Tony Gaddis’ gradual and accessible approach to teaching programming concepts gives students the right amount of detail needed to master programming skills.

Highlights:

� Covers procedural programming–control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers–before objects

� Has a clear and student-friendly writing style with stepped-out explanations that motivate beginning programmers

� Includes concise, practical, real-world examples students can relate to and understand

� Has a wealth of exercises in each chapter so students have the chance to put concepts to work as they learn them
