Appropriate for Introductory Computer Science (CS1) courses using C++ and Introductory C++ programming courses found in Computer Science, Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments. This accessible text emphasizes problem-solving techniques using the C++ language, with coverage that develops strong problem-solving skills using problem abstraction and stepwise refinement through the "Programmer's Algorithm." Staugaard first emphasizes the structured (procedural) paradigm, then gradually advances to the object-oriented paradigm using object-oriented programming "seed topics." This approach prepares students for in-depth coverage of classes and objects presented later in the text, while building essential structured programming concepts.

The new edition of this introductory programming text continues to emphasize problem-solving techniques using the C++ language. Coverage develops strong problem-solving skills using problem abstraction and stepwise refinement through the Programmer's Algorithm. The author first emphasizes the structured (procedural) paradigm, then gradually advances to the object-oriented paradigm. Traditional data types are presented as classes early, with constants and variables treated as objects of those classes. The author's approach prepares students for in-depth coverage of classes and objects presented later in the text, while building essential structured programming concepts. This edition now integrates problem-solving through 19 Problem-Solving in Action case studies, and offers early treatment of reading/writing C++ files for program I/O.

This book is suitable for students with little or no programming background. The complete book can easily be covered in a one-semester or one-quarter introductory course on problem solving.

Thes book has three key features : fundamental data structures and algorithms; algorithm analysis in terms of Big-O running time in introducied early and applied throught; pytohn is used to facilitates the success in using and mastering data strucutes and algorithms.

Programming/Languages

This compact book presents a clear and thorough introduction to the object-oriented paradigm using the C++ language. It introduces the readers to various C++ features that support object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. In an easy-to-comprehend format, the text teaches how to start and compile a C++ program and discusses the use of C++ in OOP. The book covers the full range of object-oriented topics, from the fundamental features through classes, inheritance, polymorphism, template, exception handling and standard template library. KEY FEATURES • Includes several pictorial descriptions of the concepts to facilitate better understanding. • Offers numerous class-tested programs and examples to show the practical application of theory. • Provides a summary at the end of each chapter to help students in revising all key facts. The book is designed for use as a text by undergraduate students of engineering, undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer applications, and postgraduate students of management.

This book continues to reflect our experience that topics once considered too advanced can be taught in the first course. The text addresses metalanguages explicitly as the formal means of specifying programming language syntax. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

It has become crucial for managers to be computer literate in today’s business environment. It is also important that those entering the field acquire the fundamental theories of information systems, the essential practical skills in computer applications, and the desire for life-long learning in information technology. Programming Languages for Business Problem Solving presents a working knowledge of the major programming languages, including COBOL, C++, Java, HTML, JavaScript, VB.NET, VBA, ASP.NET, Perl, PHP, XML, and SQL, used in the current business computing environment. The book examines the concepts shared by these languages and details the unique features of each. It also focuses on various programming techniques, including structured, object-oriented, client-side and server-side programming, as well as graphical user-interface and multi-media processing. Self-contained, the book provides hands-on examples, self-review questions, project requirements, report formats, and operational manuals of programming environments for use by both MIS students and professionals.
