About

Features

• Opens with a gentle introduction to standard, non-object-oriented C++ – Builds a strong foundation in basic programming skills–then eases into discussions on object-oriented C++.

• Guides students step-by-step through clear, accessible explanations of concepts.

• Includes exercise sets with each section to offer frequent opportunities to challenge and reinforce recently acquired skills.

• Designs programming problems and examples specifically for today's business student.

• Develops a single, on-going application throughout much of the object-oriented part of the book – Enables students to see every important concept fully implemented and explained in code.

• Supports discussions with a sound instructional framework composed of:

– Chapter objectives and summaries.

– Boxed Notes sections that highlight important ideas.

– Approximately 700 end-of-section exercises divided into paper-and-pencil exercises, experiments, and programming problems.

– Unique experiments that students can use to extend material in the book and explore new areas.

Description

This book provides a highly readable introduction to C++ programming for beginning business programmers. It guides readers through complete and clear descriptions of sample programs, with a wealth of exercises included along the way to help reinforce the important points of each chapter. Throughout the text, a strong emphasis is placed on business applications, rather than those in mathematics or computing. KEY TOPICS: Part I (Basic C++) covers the procedural parts of C++. Part II (Object-Oriented Concepts and Programming) introduces object-oriented ideas through the built-in string class. Part III (Object-Oriented Programming) explores the essential object-oriented ideas through inheritance and polymorphism. MARKET: For beginning programmers using C++ for business.
