Synopsis

Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++ presents and reinforces basic principles of software engineering design and object-oriented programming concepts while introducing the C++ programming language. The hallmark feature of this book is the Software Development Method that is introduced in the first chapter and carried throughout in the case studies presented.

Annotation

A first course C++ programming text emphasizing object-oriented programming, problem solving skills, and program engineering and design. Discusses top-down design, functions, procedural decomposition, selection structures, repetition, simple data types, files, arrays, and structures. Introduces software engineering, user-defined classes, modeling concepts, recursion, pointers, and dynamic structures. Uses a problem solving approach to guide the student through relevant case studies geared to specific topics. Pointers have been de-emphasized and are included with dynamic data structures only. Supplementary materials are available on the Web.
