About the Book

C++11 topics have been added to several chapters to support the latest standard version of the C++ language.
UPDATED! Updated material throughout the book reflects changes in technology and software development environments, improves clarity and incorporates best practices in teaching introductory programming. As a result, new graphics and new or redesigned figures have been added throughout the book where appropriate, and new or improved sample programs have been included in a number of chapters.
Includes new sections on literals, random numbers, and enumerated data types, as well as improved material on designing classes.
New Programming Challenge problems have been added to every chapter.
UPDATED! Chapters have been redesigned to improve student learning. Chapter 5 (Looping) has been reorganized to give students more practice using the while loop before introducing do-while and for loops. The Chapter 6 (Functions) material on defining and calling functions has been reorganized to introduce function prototypes earlier and allow main to always be the first function in a file.

MyProgrammingLab® not included. Students, if MyProgrammingLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MyProgrammingLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

MyProgrammingLab is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. MyProgrammingLab consists of a set of programming exercises correlated to the programming concepts in this book and improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts of programming languages. For students, the system automatically detects errors in the logic and syntax of their code submissions and offers targeted hints that enable students to figure out what went wrong. For instructors, a comprehensive gradebook tracks correct and incorrect answers and stores the code inputted by students for review.

Interactive Practice provides first-hand programming experience in an interactive online environment.
Approximately two-hundred small practice exercises cover topics such as variables, calculations, decision statements, loops, procedures, arrays, and more.
Error Messages for Incorrect Answers give students immediate personalized feedback. The error messages include both the feedback from the compiler and plain English interpretations of likely causes for the incorrect answer.
Step-by-step VideoNote Tutorials enhance the programming concepts presented in your Pearson textbook by allowing students to view the entire problem-solving process outside of the classroom—when they need help the most.
Pearson eText gives students access to their textbook anytime, anywhere. In addition to note taking, highlighting, and bookmarking, the eText offers interactive and sharing features. Rich media options let students watch lecture and example videos as they read or do their homework. Instructors can share their comments or highlights, and students can add their own, creating a tight community of learners in your class. The Pearson eText companion app allows existing subscribers to access their titles on an iPad or Android tablet for either online or offline viewing.
Dynamic grading and assessment provide auto-grading of student assignments, saving you time and offering students immediate learning opportunities:
- A dynamic roster tracks their performance and maintains a record of submissions.
- The color-coded gradebook gives you a quick glance
