Description

Think Like a Programmer: An Introduction to Creative Problem Solving The real challenge of programming lies not in learning a language's syntax, but in creatively solving problems to build something great. This book breaks down the ways programmers tackle problems and teaches you how to think creatively. Each chapter focuses on a single programming concept, such as classes, pointers, and recursion, and includes open-ended exercises to help you apply your knowledge. You'll learn how to break down complex problems, make the most of code reuse, and choose the right data structure for the job. You'll also discover how to master advanced programming tools and develop strategies to tackle specific types of problems. The book's examples are written in C++, but the creative problem-solving concepts they illustrate are universal and can be applied to any programming language. By learning to think like a programmer, you'll be able to approach problems with a fresh perspective and create great code.
