Features: This book is a textbook for introductory computer courses (CS-1) for first-year university students in the United States. It is suitable for computer science majors as well as students from other disciplines who are not majoring in computer science. The reasons for choosing C++ are twofold: first, most modern application software is written in C++; second, C++ can effectively demonstrate the principles of object-oriented programming. In this way, the author integrates the programming language with programming concepts, allowing readers to gradually grasp the principles of object-oriented design while learning C++ programming step by step. The book consists of 15 chapters, covering topics such as computing and object-oriented design methodologies, C++ fundamentals, modifying objects, control structures, basic functions, programmer-defined functions, class structures and object-oriented design, the implementation of abstract data types, lists, a detailed analysis of EzWindows API, pointers and dynamic memory allocation, testing and debugging, inheritance, templates and polymorphism, and software projects. The book is rich in content, clearly written, emphasizes practical application, and includes abundant exercises, making it suitable as a textbook for computer introductory courses in higher vocational colleges and universities for students of all disciplines. It is also ideal for individuals from various fields who wish to self-study and improve their computer skills.
