Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of this introductory programming text continues to emphasize problem-solving techniques using the C++ language. Coverage develops strong problem-solving skills using problem abstraction and stepwise refinement through the Programmer's Algorithm. The author first emphasizes the structured (procedural) paradigm, then gradually advances to the object-oriented paradigm. Traditional data types are presented as classes early, with constants and variables treated as objects of those classes. The author's approach prepares students for in-depth coverage of classes and objects presented later in the text, while building essential structured programming concepts. This edition now integrates problem-solving through 19 Problem-Solving in Action case studies, and offers early treatment of reading/writing C++ files for program I/O.
