Problem Solving, Abstraction, & Design Using C++

This book is fully revised and updated C++ code to conform to ANSI standards, including
coverage of recent C++ developments such as type bool and the Standard Template Library
(STL). Presents an overview of objects, classes, and class libraries in Ch. 2--and carries them
through remaining chapters with a money class example--and flexible coverage allows them to begin
writing classes any time after Ch. 7.

Introductory programmers who need to learn the
C++ programming language.

Features

• Fully revised and updated C++ code to conform to ANSI standards, including
  coverage of recent C++ developments such as type bool and the Standard
  
• Template Library (STL).
  
• Presents an overview of objects, classes, and class libraries in Chapter 2—and
  carries them through remaining chapters with a money class example—but doesn't
  have students begin writing classes until Chapter 11.
  
• Flexible coverage of writing classes allows professors to use the material anytime
  after Chapter 7.
  
• Consistently uses the classic Koffman five-step problem-solving approach:
  (1)
  State Problem
  (2) Analyze Problem
  (3) Design Algorithm
  (4) Implement;
  (5)
  Test/Verify
  
• Includes a number of new exercises, case studies, and examples.
