Problem Solving With C++: The Object of Programming

Enables readers to efficiently master the fundamentals of C++ and object-oriented programming, while imparting skills that are valuable with virtually any contemporary programming language. Writing in a friendly, highly motivational style, Walter Savitch begins with an overview of programming and problem-solving, then walks through all the fundamentals of C++ development. Coverage includes: variables, assignments, I/O, data types, expressions, flow control, functions, arrays, strings, vectors, pointers, and recursion, along with complete chapters on inheritance, exception handling, and templates. From start to finish, Savitch presents C++ examples in the context of complete, executable programs that are available for download. This edition fully embraces the latest ANSI/ISO standards, features an all-new chapter on the STL, and includes expanded coverage of namespaces. Improvements also include: access to Addison-Wesley's exclusive online CodeMate program competency builder; an all-new, full-color design, and many new exercises. For anyone who wants to master object-oriented programming with C++: both those who have experience with other languages, and those learning programming for the first time

Walter Savitch, who teaches at the University of California at San Diego, brings his rich experience as both a successful teacher and best-selling author to this new text, his fifth Addison-Wesley book. His other books include the highly successful introductory programming texts Pascal and Turbo Pascal, both in 4th editions, Ada (with Charles Petersen), and the recent Data Structures and Other Objects (with Michael Main).
