Textbook

1. Required: STARTING OUT WITH C++ From Control Structures through Objects 9/e, Tony Gaddis (ISBN: 9780134498379)

2. Recommended: C++: The Complete Reference, Herbert Schildt (ISBN: 0072226803)

Goal

To introduce students to some fundamental data structures, Abstract Data Types and searching and sorting algorithms. By the end of this course students will be able to:

understand the use of pointers in implementations, and recursion as a problem-solving strategy.
employ principles of the object-oriented programming paradigm in their programs, and
Design and analyze basic search and recursive sort algorithms.
