Summary

Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++ presents and then reinforces the basic principles of software engineering and object-oriented programming while introducing the C++ programming language. The hallmarks of this book are the focus on problem solving and program design. This book carefully presents object-oriented programming by balancing it with procedural programming so the reader does not overlook the fundamentals of algorithm organization and design.
