D.S. Malik’s time-tested, student-centered methodology incorporates a strong focus on problem-solving with full-code examples that vividly demonstrate the hows and whys of applying programming concepts and utilizing C++ to work through problems. Thoroughly updated end-of-chapter exercises, more than 20 extensive new programming exercises, and numerous new examples drawn from Dr. Malik’s experience further strengthen student understanding of problem solving and program design in this new edition. Now available with MindTap, the digital learning solution that powers students from memorization to mastery.
FULL-COLOR, FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS KEY CONCEPTS AND TERMS. This edition uses the dynamic interior layout to not only engage and keep the reader’s attention, but also to precisely display syntax, emphasize C++ keywords and draw attention to key comments and concepts important for beginning programmers.
MORE THAN 300 VISUAL DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATE CHALLENGING CONCEPTS. This edition uses timely, detailed diagrams to guide students through both analysis and problem-solving techniques as well as methodology for programming.
NUMBERED FULL-CODE EXAMPLES THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION ILLUSTRATE KEY TOPICS IN EACH CHAPTER. These extensive programming examples walk students through the stages of Input, Output, Problem Analysis, and Algorithm Design. Every 10 to 15-page user-friendly programming example includes a full explanation as well as sample run.
UPDATED DISCUSSION HIGHLIGHTS STRENGTHS AND FEATURES OF C++14. This material now includes coverage of In-class initialization of data members as well as other capabilities of C++14 to prepare your students to work with this latest version of C++.
