Overview

This is a textbook of computer programming for first year engineering and science students. In addition to providing comprehensive coverage of the C++ language, it shows how to develop programs to solve problems from mathematics, engineering, science, operations research, and games.

• Simplecpp helps students pictorially understand programming ideas such as recursion.


• Complete programs are developed for many problems such as computing mathematical functions, solving systems of equations, gravitational simulation, simulation of facilities such as airports.


• Recursion is discussed extensively, and used to design algorithms for sorting, tree based computations, backtracking.


• Substantial coverage is given to proving correctness of programs including notions such as invariants, pre and post conditions, and potential.


• An in-depth discussion of inheritance is provided. A program implemented earlier without recursion is implemented with recursion to show how it becomes easier to extend and generally work with.


• Simple graphical user interfaces are developed using Simplecpp.


• Memory management is discussed in great detail, including use of smart pointers.


• Recent additions to C++ such as lambda expressions are discussed.

The Student’s Center contains Graphics package Simplecpp and Source codes for selected programs.
