Synopsis

Problem Solving with C++, 5e brings the best-selling text book for introducing C++ to fully embrace the most up-to-date C++ standards. Suitable for beginning students, the text covers C++ and basic programming techniques. Students will learn how to define their own classes while gaining a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. By defining their own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience unrivaled by any other text on the market.

Flexible by design, the order in which chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without any loss on continuity in reading. Instructors can therefore mold this text around the way they want to teach rather than have the text dictate their course's organization.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Best-selling author Walter Savitch has written a new highly accessible introductory computer science text suitable for both majors and non-majors courses. This text, Problem Solving With C++, is based on the idea that students are more likely to use a method successfully and intuitively if they learn it early. With this in mind, the book opens with basic control structures and defining functions and then covers classes. This placement has students designing their own classes from the beginning so that by the end of Chapter 8 they can write realistic class definitions. Other topics given early coverage include public and private members, function overloading, operator overloading, and friend functions. In addition, the text features Professor Savitch's friendly, motivational writing style and strong pedagogical program which guide students through each topic, building both a thorough understanding of C++ and good programming techniques. This title also offers a modular organization that lets instructors tailor topic selection and presentation.
