Computer Science

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.

• Presentation of classes is flexible and writing classes can be covered earlier if desired.

• Conforms to ANSI/ISO C++ standards, including new material on the Standard Template Library (STL).

• Makes use of proven pedagogical features, including end-of-section self-check exercises and programming exercises, extensive examples, robust case studies, clearly marked program style displays and syntax displays, in-depth chapter reviews, and detailed syntax and run-time error discussions in each chapter.

• Utilizes a dynamic two-color design to draw readers' attention to important material.

• Includes interviews with leading computer scientists to show the significance of the material to the real world.

• Introduces objects early while focusing on problem solving and program design.

• Updated, easy-to-follow interior design.

• Easy-to-understand definitions of key terms and concepts.

• More end-of-chapter/section review material.

• New section on using STL container classes list, stack, and queue has been incorporated into Chapter 13.

• Addition of C-style strings to Chapter 9 (Data Structures: Array and Structures).
