Logical Problem Solving Before the Flowchart with C++ and Visual Basic Applications

This book shows readers how to best attack a wide variety of problems that they may not have previously solved. It focuses on techniques for developing the logic required to solve problems and how that logic is translated into writing effective computer programs. The author uses a consistent structure throughout the book of introducing a problem and formulating the solution based on a set of rules for creative problem solving. The solution is then represented first in pseudocode, then in a flowchart, then in C++ and finally in Visual Basic. This approach provides readers with a strong foundation in problem solving that will benefit them in areas beyond programming.
