'C++ PROGRAMMING: FROM PROBLEM ANALYSIS TO PROGRAM DESIGN, 6E, remains the definitive text for a first programming language course. D.S. Malik's time-tested, student-centered methodology uses a strong focus on problem-solving and full-code examples to vividly demonstrate the how and why of applying programming concepts and utilizing C++ to work through a problem. This new edition includes updated end-of-chapter exercises, new debugging exercises, an earlier introduction to variables and a streamlined discussion of user-discussion of user-defined functions to best meet the needs of the modern CS1 course.
' A full-color interior precisely displays syntax highlighting, emphasizing C++ keywords and comments for beginning programmers. More than 300 visual diagrams illuminate difficult concepts. Numbered full-code examples throughout walk students through the stages of Input, Output, Problem Analysis, and Algorithm Design to illustrate key topics in each chapter. Every programming example includes a full explanation and sample run. NEW Reorganized content introduces variables earlier and streamlines user-defined functions in response to instructor demand. NEW Updated end-of-chapter exercises emphasize timely and relevant problems, providing ample opportunities for practice.
