Since its publication in 1995, Walter Savitch's Problem Solving with C++ has become the leading book for the Introductory Programming in C++ course, with the number of schools using it increasing every semester. Now in its second edition, the text includes the most current C++ developments, such as the new type bool and the STL string class. Students learn to design their own classes from the beginning, so that by the end of Chapter 8, they can write realistic class definitions. The modular organization of the book allows instructors to tailor both topic selection and presentation to meet the needs of their courses. Finally, the book features Professor Savitch's friendly, motivational writing style and helpful learning aids that have made it so popular among students. Book jacket.
