Features: This textbook is designed for advanced language programming courses for students in computer science, information technology, and electrical engineering programs at higher education institutions. Based on the fundamental framework of advanced language programming and combining the basic methods of structured and object-oriented programming, the content includes: the basic syntax of the C++ language, program flow control, data representation and application, and two types of program modules—functions and classes. A key feature is the detailed introduction of important object-oriented characteristics of C++, such as classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and virtual functions. As a programming language course for computer and electrical engineering programs, this tutorial selects the C++ language, which has a relatively high teaching difficulty, to serve two purposes: providing a foundation for subsequent software courses and learning an advanced and practical software development tool. As a foundation for software courses, it is not a C++ language manual but an advanced language programming textbook. Using C++ as an example, it explains fundamental programming concepts, basic syntax rules, and basic programming methods, ensuring a well-organized and logical structure. The textbook is accompanied by exercises in various formats and includes an experimental guide. Through the experimental guide, it emphasizes the methods and steps for implementing C++ programs in the Visual C++ integrated development environment. The exercises and comprehensive experimental questions of varying difficulty in the book help readers strengthen their programming skills while completing preliminary training in software development. The content is presented in a step-by-step manner, with difficulties gradually introduced, making it clear, accessible yet not superficial, with a wealth of examples. Therefore, it is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate students in science and engineering programs. It can also be used as a reference book for readers learning C++.
