Problem Solving with C++: The Object of Programming has been used more than any other book to teach the first course on programming in C++. It explains C++ and basic programming techniques in a way suitable for beginning students, but offers a flexible organization that does not tightly prescribe the order in which topics must be covered. The book teaches students how to define their own classes early, while ensuring a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. It takes a measured approach to classes, teaching students how to write some simple classes, then adds constructors, then overloading simple operators, then overloading the I/O operators and , and so forth. Material can be easily rearranged to cover classes earlier or later. *NEW Enhanced chapter on Inheritance. *NEW Chapter on Exception Handling. *NEW Expanded coverage of Templates. *NEW Additional material on vectors. *NEW Contains new exercises and projects, as well as other improvements based upon classroom experience. *Written to allow instructors a wide latitude in reordering the material. *Renowned for a friendly and motivational writing style that is appropriate for beginners.

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.
