Book Description
Solve complex problems in C++ by learning how to think like a computer scientist. This book introduces computational thinking—a framework for solving problems using decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition—and shows you how to apply it using modern C++ features. You'll learn how to break down challenges, choose the right abstractions, and build solutions that are both maintainable and efficient.
Through small examples and a large case study, this book guides you from foundational concepts to high-performance applications. You’ll explore reusable templates, algorithms, modularity, and even parallel computing and GPU acceleration. With each chapter, you’ll not only expand your C++ skillset, but also refine the way you approach and solve real-world problems.
Written by a seasoned research engineer and C++ developer, this book combines practical insight with academic rigor. Whether you're designing algorithms or profiling production code, this book helps you deliver elegant, effective solutions with confidence.
What you will learn
- Apply computational thinking to complex C++ problems
- Break problems into components using abstraction
- Use algorithms and data structures effectively in C++
- Design modular and reusable C++ code
- Analyze and improve algorithmic performance
- Parse, transform, and interpret data in multiple formats
- Scale up with concurrency, GPUs, and profiling tools
Who this book is for
C++ developers, software engineers, and computer science students who want to enhance their problem-solving capabilities and build scalable, maintainable solutions. Basic familiarity with C++ syntax is assumed, making this ideal for intermediate programmers ready to master abstraction and algorithmic thinking.
