Product Benefits: - NEW! Part I has been restructured to include arrays, files, and pointers, so it can be used as the basis for a complete introductory semester course in C++.
- NEW! The four chapters covering object-oriented programming have been revised and moved to Part II so that they form a logical continuation from structured programming to object-oriented programming.
- NEW! More than 50 new exercises have been added, and each exercise is labeled to indicate its function (Practice, Program, Modify, Debug, Desk check, or For thought).
- NEW! Three new Chapter Supplements have been added to introduce the fundamentals of object-oriented design and the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
- NEW! A complete set of case studies has been added and is available on the Cengage Web site for instructors to distribute.
- Gives introductory programming students a solid foundation in the C++ programming language.
- Guides students through the syntax and semantics of C++ before introducing classes.
- Offers a variety of end-of-section problems, including skill-building and programming exercises.
- Highlights key concepts through the use of numerous diagrams.
- Point of Information boxes in each chapter contain useful technical points, tips, and programming tricks used by industry professionals.
- Contains programs and code that have been written, compiled, and tested with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, which is available as an optional bundle.
- Fundamentals of software engineering are discussed from both procedural and object-oriented viewpoints.
- Each chapter contains a Common Programming Errors section that describes problems beginning C++ programmers encounter.
- The ANSI/ISO C++ iostream library and namespace mechanism are used in all programs.
- Exception handling is discussed in a separate section, with practical applications of exception handling included throughout the book.
- The C++ string class is covered.
- A thorough discussion is included of input data validation and functions to check the numerical data type of input items and allow reentering invalid numerical types.
