Offers students an introduction to traditional computing, covering such areas as scalar objects, the concept of I/O, reusability, control structures, functions and parameter passing, and modular programming. The text then covers non-scalar (class) objects to illustrate more fully the power of C++ objects.

From the Back Cover

I think it's well written and intelligently presented. It's a good introduction not only to C++ programming, but also to computer science as a whole.

- Larry Herman, UNITEC Institute of Technology

This book has a very large number of exercises, with a large variety of types. It is one the things that attracted me to the text. I am pleased with the quantity and quality of the exercises in this book.

- Cary Laxer, Computer Science, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
