Product Description

Product Description
Best-selling author Walter Savitch has written a new highly accessible introductory computer science text suitable for both majors and non-majors courses. This text, Problem Solving With C++, is based on the idea that students are more likely to use a method successfully and intuitively if they learn it early. With this in mind, the book opens with basic control structures and defining functions and then covers classes. This placement has students designing their own classes from the beginning so that by the end of Chapter 8 they can write realistic class definitions. Other topics given early coverage include public and private members, function overloading, operator overloading, and friend functions. In addition, the text features Professor Savitch's friendly, motivational writing style and strong pedagogical program which guide students through each topic, building both a thorough understanding of C++ and good programming techniques. This title also offers a modular organization that lets instructors tailor topic selection and presentation.Audience: Freshman/Sophomore Computer Science majors/non-majors Courses: Introduction to C++ Introduction to Programming Introduction to Computer Science Prerequisite: High School Algebra 080537440XB04062001

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.
