Through hands-on lab exercises, this lab manual teaches the syntax and semantics of C++ constructs in a flexible framework that is perfect for both closed lab settings and independent learning. The exercises are broken into three types of activities: ' Pre-Lab: Reading review and paper-and-pencil exercises designed to ensure understanding of the material to be covered in the exercises ' In-Lab: Individual lessons broken into exercises specifically mapped to the concepts covered in the chapter ' Post-Lab: Programming assignments which can be done independently and cover the important topics from the chapter ' Checklist cover sheets allow students and instructors to track the assignments, output, and grading for each exercise. Perforated pages aid in submission and grading of exercises and homework assignments.
