Description
Walter Savitch's Problem Solving with C++, Fifth Edition is available with Savitch's Visual C++ 6.0 Companion, providing everything needed to learn to write and run C++ programs in the Visual C++ environment. Problem Solving with C++ teaches programming techniques and the C++ language, while the Visual C++ 6.0 Companion discusses Visual C++-C++ language enhanced by Microsoft with an editor, a compiler, and a debugger-which is designed to accommodate and take full advantage of the Windows operating system. A CD-ROM featuring the Visual C++ language is also included.
This book brings the best-selling text book for introducing C++ to fully embrace the most up-to-date C++ standards. Suitable for beginning students, the text covers C++ and basic programming techniques. Students will elarn how to define their own classes whilel gaining a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. By defining their own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience unrivaled by any other text on the market. Flexible by design, the order in which chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without any loss on continuity in reading. Instructors can therefore mold this text around the way they want to teach rather than have the text dictate their course's organization.
