Frank M. Carrano, Universityof Rhode Island

 

This fifth edition of the classic, best-selling book Data Abstraction and

Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors continues to offer students a superior foundation in data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and problem-solving techniques. The focus is on core abstract data types with the consistent use of data abstraction emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation.

Fifth Edition highlights:

• Completely revised software engineering concepts to conform with modern practice

• NEW! Introduces techniques for testing software

• NEW! Presents ADT (abstract data type) behaviors as operation contracts

• Includes extensive coverage of object-oriented programming techniques

• NEW! Includes an introduction to Doxygen, a documentation generator for

C++ that is similar to Javadoc

• Contains major applications of ADTs, such as searching a flight map, event-driven simulation, and the eight queens problem

• Covers the use of the Standard Template Library (STL), with examples included in most chapters

• Updated all C++ code to ensure compliance with the latest ANSI standards

• Includes “Review of C++ Fundamentals” appendix for students who are making the transition to C++ from another language
