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 \u003ci\u003eThink Like a Programmer\u003c\/i\u003e. Each chapter tackles a single programming concept, like classes, pointers, and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout challenge you to apply your knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou'll also learn how to: \u003cbr\u003e-Split problems into discrete components to make them easier to solve\u003cbr\u003e-Make the most of code reuse with functions, classes, and libraries\u003cbr\u003e-Pick the perfect data structure for a particular job\u003cbr\u003e-Master more advanced programming tools like recursion and dynamic memory\u003cbr\u003e-Organize your thoughts and develop strategies to tackle particular types of problems \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough 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 \u003ci\u003eThink Like a Programmer\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"No Starch Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029630345367,"sku":"9781593274245","price":2763.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781593274245.webp?v=1769204265","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/think-like-a-programmer-an-introduction-to-creative-problem-solving-9781593274245","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
