Programming and Problem Solving with C++


Book Description

In the tradition of Pascal and Turbo Pascal, authors Nell Dale and Chip Weems have teamed up with Mark Headington to offer Programming and Problem Solving with C++ for students in the CS1/C101 course. Written in the same style as the successful Pascal books, this text provides an accessible introduction to programming using C++ for beginning students. The first half of the text gives students a solid foundation in top-down programming techniques. The second half builds on this foundation and explains ADTs, the C++ class, encapsulation, information hiding, and object-oriented software development.




ANSI C

Learn to Code by Solving Problems


Book Description

Learn to Code by Solving Problems is a practical introduction to programming using Python. It uses coding-competition challenges to teach you the mechanics of coding and how to think like a savvy programmer. Computers are capable of solving almost any problem when given the right instructions. That’s where programming comes in. This beginner’s book will have you writing Python programs right away. You’ll solve interesting problems drawn from real coding competitions and build your programming skills as you go. Every chapter presents problems from coding challenge websites, where online judges test your solutions and provide targeted feedback. As you practice using core Python features, functions, and techniques, you’ll develop a clear understanding of data structures, algorithms, and other programming basics. Bonus exercises invite you to explore new concepts on your own, and multiple-choice questions encourage you to think about how each piece of code works. You’ll learn how to: Run Python code, work with strings, and use variables Write programs that make decisions Make code more efficient with while and for loops Use Python sets, lists, and dictionaries to organize, sort, and search data Design programs using functions and top-down design Create complete-search algorithms and use Big O notation to design more efficient code By the end of the book, you’ll not only be proficient in Python, but you’ll also understand how to think through problems and tackle them with code. Programming languages come and go, but this book gives you the lasting foundation you need to start thinking like a programmer.




Programming and Problem Solving with Delphi


Book Description

@CATEGORY = Programming Languages (CC00)@TITLE = Programming and Problem Solving with Delphi@AUTHOR = Mitchell C. KermanProgramming and Problem Solving with Delphi teaches beginners how to program using Delphi, and assumes no prior programming experience. Throughout, it emphasizes sound problem solving and programming skills, and is designed with numerous screen shots to demonstrate this visual language. The book includes a CD-ROM of Delphi 5 so readers have access to the latest features of the language. Delphi is an object Pascal-based language that is widely used in the corporate sector. As a point of comparison, Delphi is a similar language to Visual Basic yet is more robust.This book covers Windows-based programming concepts such as OLE, DDE and ActiveX components. It provides a full chapter on debugging, and includes numerous appendices on the user interface, debugging, Delphi error codes, and more, also making this an excellent language reference.This is the first book designed to teach Delphi programming to those without any programming experience.@ISBN = 0-201-70844-2@MAINCAT = Programming Languages@DATALINE1 = 2002, 560 pages, 8 3/8 x 10 7/8@DATALINE2 = Paper, $45.75k




Introduction to Scientific Programming


Book Description

"Introduction to Computational Science" was developed over a period of two years at the University of Utah Department of Computer Science in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Undergraduate Computation in Engineering Science (UCES) program. Each chapter begins by introducing a problem and then guiding the student through its solution. The computational techniques needed to solve the problem are developed as necassary, making the motivation for learning the computing alwasy apparent. Each chapter will introduce a single problem that will be used to motivate a single computing concept. The notes currently consist of 15 chapters. The first seven chapters deal with Maple and the last eight with C. The textbook will contain 20 to 30 chapters covering a similar mix of concepts at a finer level of detail.




Structured and Object-oriented Problem Solving Using C++


Book Description

"Welcome to the third edition of my C++ text. The highly successful first edition was one of the first textbooks available for teaching C++ in the first programming course. The text was introduced at the 1994 ACM Conference in Phoenix when many were arguing the virtues of teaching C++ and OOP versus Pascal and structured programming in the first programming course. I argued at the time, and still argue, that students need to be taught problem solving early-on using both the structured and object-oriented paradigms and, because of its hybrid nature, C++ is the only language suited to learning both of these paradigms. Since then, many institutions have made the switch from Pascal to C++ for just this reason, as well as the intense industry support for C++ language. As a result, this third edition continues to provide an introduction to both structured and object-oriented problem solving techniques using the C++ language. Of course, many improvements have been made based on using the text in numerous classrooms all over the world since 1994. As with earlier editions, the text starts from the beginning, assuming no previous knowledge of C, or any other programming language. This text is appropriate for any introductory programming (CS1 course using the C++ language as well as experienced programmers wanting an introduction to structured and object-oriented problem solving techniques using the C++ language"-- Book Preface.




Problem Solving with C++


Book Description

Walter Savitch's Problem Solving with C++, Fifth Edition is available with Savitch's Visual C++ 6.0 Companion, providing everything needed to learn to write and run C++ programs in the Visual C++ environment. Problem Solving with C++ teaches programming techniques and the C++ language, while the Visual C++ 6.0 Companion discusses Visual C++ C++ language enhanced by Microsoft with an editor, a compiler, and a debugger which is designed to accommodate and take full advantage of the Windows operating system. A CD-ROM featuring the Visual C++ language is also included. This book brings the best-selling text book for introducing C++ to fully embrace the most up-to-date C++ standards. Suitable for beginning students, the text covers C++ and basic programming techniques. Students will elarn how to define their own classes whilel gaining a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. By defining their own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience unrivaled by any other text on the market. Flexible by design, the order in which chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without any loss on continuity in reading. Instructors can therefore mold this text around the way they want to teach rather than have the text dictate their course's organization.
