Features: "C++ Essential and Programming (4th Edition)" This book introduces the C++ programming language using an object-oriented approach. The 4th edition emphasizes the fundamental principles of software engineering while retaining its core focus on programming. It balances object-oriented programming and procedural programming, ensuring that the foundation of algorithm organization and programming design is not overlooked, as these are distinctive features of the book.
Distinctive Features:
Teaches in a flexible manner
Case studies emphasize Koffman's 5-step development method: problem specification, analysis, design, implementation, and testing
Includes numerous examples, clear program styles, syntax displays, comprehensive chapter reviews, and detailed discussions of syntax and runtime errors
New interviews with renowned computer scientists to illustrate the practical importance of the book's content
Comprehensive teaching resources: lecture slides, instructor's manual, solutions to exercises, exercise banks, and sample test questions
While introducing the C++ programming language, this book also introduces and emphasizes the fundamental principles of software engineering and object-oriented programming. The content covers: functions and the basics of top-down design, selection and loop structures, simple data types, input and output, structured data types (arrays and structures), classes and objects, data modeling, recursion, pointers, linked lists, stacks, queues, and trees, etc. This book can be used as a textbook for programming foundation courses in computer science and related disciplines at colleges and universities, or as a self-study guide for C++ programming.
