With carefully chosen topics presented in a logical order, this book provides an excellent introduction to the object-oriented features of C++ programming and the Standard C++ library. Clearly written and easy to understand, it provides examples and applications along with problem solving techniques, enabling the reader to learn this powerful language quickly and easily. This book covers such topics as the 5-step approach to problem solving; object-based features of C++ and the fundamentals of programming; engineering examples and applications; and an integrated introduction to function templates and classes defined in the Standard C++ library. For professional engineers who want to learn C++ programming language about its object-oriented features.

From the Back Cover

Best-selling author Delores M. Etter and computer science and engineering educator coauthor Jeanine A. Ingber provide an introduction to engineering problem solving with an object-based programming approach using the ANSI C++ programming language. The authors employ an easy-to-use problem solving methodology to consider a diverse range of grand challenges, including prediction of weather, climate, and global change; computerized speech understanding; mapping of the human genome; improvement in vehicle performance; enhanced oil and gas recovery; and engineering simulation. The emphasis on engineering and scientific problem solving remains as an integral part of the text.

Introduces engineering problem solving with the following objectives:

To develop a consistent methodology for solving engineering problems.
To illustrate the problem-solving process with C++ through a variety of engineering examples and applications.
To introduce the concept of object-based programming and the features of C++ that support it, while focusing on the fundamentals of programming.

Key features:

Presents a five-step process used consistently throughout the text for solving engineering problems.
Introduces objects early in the discussion of data types and standard input and output.
Discusses fundamental capabilities of C++ for solving engineering problems, including control structure, data files, and functions.
Provides flexibility in covering topics.
Exposes the reader to the template functions.
Addresses one-dimensional arrays and Matrices with an introduction to the vector class.
Explains programmer-defined classes, including overloaded operators and inheritance.
Explores the use of pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
Includes an introduction to dynamic data structures using classes supported in the C++ Standard Library.
Offers an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM with Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
