Description: For introductory courses teaching C++ programming for business.

This text provides a student-friendly, highly readable introduction to C++ programming for beginning programming students, especially those majoring in Information Systems and Business. It guides readers through complete and clear descriptions of sample programs, with a wealth of exercises included along the way to help reinforce the important points of each chapter. Throughout the text, a strong emphasis is placed on business applications, rather than those in mathematics or computing.
Notes: • Revised to include–
–        Object-oriented design issues
–        Updated terminology
–        A chapter on the string class
–        Optional sections to improve the flow of the exposition
–        Rearranged material to improve readability
–        A section on the C++ Math Library
–        A Special Topics chapter
·         Revisions to Part I — Some of the material in Part I has been labeled as optional and other material has been moved to the Special Topics chapter. Several sections have been rewritten to improve readability.
• Revisions to Part II -  (Part II (which covers the essential object-oriented ideas through inheritance and polymorphism) begins with a chapter on the C++ string class. Object-oriented concepts are introduced in this chapter so that students can begin instantiating, using, and manipulating string objects without having to worry about how to define a class. The remainder of Part II has been rearranged so that the chapters featuring more important topics appear first.
