Product Description

Product Description
Problem Solving with C++: The Object of Programming has been used more than any other book to teach the first course on programming in C++. It explains C++ and basic programming techniques in a way suitable for beginning students, but offers a flexible organization that does not tightly prescribe the order in which topics must be covered. The book teaches students how to define their own classes early, while ensuring a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. It takes a measured approach to classes, teaching students how to write some simple classes, then adds constructors, then overloading simple operators, then overloading the I/O operators and , and so forth. Material can be easily rearranged to cover classes earlier or later. *NEW Enhanced chapter on Inheritance. *NEW Chapter on Exception Handling. *NEW Expanded coverage of Templates. *NEW Additional material on vectors. *NEW Contains new exercises and projects, as well as other improvements based upon classroom experience. *Written to allow instructors a wide latitude in reordering the material. *Renowned for a friendly and motivational writing style that is appropriate for beginners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I'm just learning C++ without any prior programming experience and it is true that this book really gets you started - but here is the drawback: it doesn't really make you think, so my advise is: use it for a first read to get started, but switch immediately to sth more intellectual like Lipmann's "Essential C++".

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book I have seen on C++, 24 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I have looked at no fewer than 30 books on learning C++. This one is far and away the best I have seen. It's the only one that had the common sense to show you how the program will actually look on the computer screen. (very helpful!) And the program examples are logical and easy to follow. Other books I have ready discouraged me: Jesse Liberty's among them, because they started out with complex poorly explained programs and theory. This book is the opposite. Instead of discouraging you from programming, it will make you think you'll have it mastered in no time. Without a doubt, do not hesitate. If you want to learn programming, BUY THIS BOOK!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book opened up my eyes to object oriented programming, 21 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I bought this book as part of a class I took at NJIT. I thought it was great. It really got me rolling with C++. The examples are simple enough so that you can grasp the concepts. I highly recommend this book for the beginner.
