In this one-of-a-kind text, author V. Anton Spraul breaks down the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you what other introductory books often ignore: how to Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles a single programming concept, like classes, pointers, and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout challenge you to apply your knowledge.You'll also learn how to:-Split problems into discrete components to make them easier to solve-Make the most of code reuse with functions, classes, and libraries-Pick the perfect data structure for a particular job-Master more advanced programming tools like recursion and dynamic memory-Organize your thoughts and develop strategies to tackle particular types of problemsAlthough the book's examples are written in C++, the creative problem-solving concepts they illustrate go beyond any particular language; in fact, they often reach outside the realm of computer science. As the most skillful programmers know, writing great code is a creative art-and the first step in creating your masterpiece is learning to Think Like a Programmer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51873375879456,"sku":"NEW1593274246","price":26.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71K9kh-Xh_L.jpg?v=1781716687","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/think-like-a-programmer-an-introduction-to-creative-problem-solving-1593274246","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
