Problem Solving with C++
An Introduction to Computer Science

by George Best

This new book is designed for use in a one semester introductory course in computing and computer science. It assumes no mathematics beyond high school algebra and covers all topics required by the Computer Science A Advanced Placement syllabus of the College Board. This readable text integrates problem solving and programming skills in a unique way. It is filled with examples that demonstrate how important software engineering techniques like top-down design, modularity, reusability, documentation, and good programming style are employed in developing programs.

Features:

  • The structure of C++ is taught before the details of the syntax.
  • Like most newer texts, functions are introduced early. Unlike other texts, a detailed discussion of parameter is presented very early. This allows students to study parameter passing in simple, structured programs without being distracted by other features of the language.
  • Students are encouraged to outline (stub) their problem solutions in C++ and then define the details of each subprogram.
  • The text has an understandable treatment of recursion including lots of examples.
  • Classes are introduced early including the AP classes apvector, apmatrix, and apstring.
