{"product_id":"c-for-beginners-yiannis-menis-9798294305826","title":"C++ for Beginners: My First Language","description":"Purpose of the Book\u003cbr\u003eThis book is aimed at students in the Natural Sciences and Engineering fields. Its struc-ture follows a progression from theory to practical examples in the C++ programming language. It can serve as a supplementary aid for programming courses taught in the early years of science degrees. For example, in the Department of Physics, the course is titled Computers I. If someone learns one programming language-or better yet, under-stands the concept of the algorithm-they can easily learn other programming lan-guages, with their initial language as a foundation.\u003cbr\u003eFor solving simple engineering problems, programming in traditional languages such as Fortran, Basic, Pascal, C++, or Java can often be time-consuming. Therefore, a scientist should also be familiar with one or more comprehensive programming packages such as MATLAB, MATHEMATICA, MATHCAD, and others.\u003cbr\u003eWe encourage science students, in addition to classical programming, to use one of the aforementioned programming packages.\u003cbr\u003eTopics Covered\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e introduces computers, covering basic computer components, defining concepts such as problem, data, and information, classifying problems, and de-fining the algorithm. It also includes a brief history of programming languages and instructions for using the free Embarcadero Dev-C++ 6.3 platform for learn-ing C++ on Windows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 \u003c\/b\u003eintroduces C++, writing the first program, input\/output, reserved words, naming conventions, variables, and constants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e covers mathematical operations using operators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e deals with decision-making, comparative operators, the if, switch statements, and compound conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 \u003c\/b\u003efocuses on loops: for, while, do while, and the break and continue statements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e introduces arrays, followed by various programs and array processing. This is one of the most important chapters, as it teaches how to store and ma-nipulate data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/b\u003e explores functions and how they help divide programs into smaller segments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 8\u003c\/b\u003e covers file storage and data retrieval from files.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yiannis Menis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798294305826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Yiannis Menis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623499182335,"sku":"9798294305826","price":10.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/c-for-beginners-yiannis-menis-9798294305826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
