The first six editions of Programming and Problem Solving with C++ have consistently been among the best-selling computer science textbooks in the United States. These editions have been accepted widely as model textbooks for ACM/IEEE-recommended curricula for introductory computer science courses.

Throughout the successive editions of this book, one thing has not changed: our commitment to the student. As always, our efforts are directed toward making the sometimes difficult concepts of computer science more accessible to all students. This edition of Programming and Problem Solving with C++ continues to reflect our philosophy that a textbook should be like a guide, blazing a trail and leading its readers through territory that can initially seem difficult to navigate.

Programming and Problem Solving with C++, Seventh Edition continues to offer coverage enabling the book to be used across two terms, thereby providing greater value for students.

Recognizing that much has changed in the eight years since publication of the Sixth Edition, as growth in the use of smartphones and apps has caused major cultural changes worldwide and made many technologies obsolete or less common, we have gone through the entire text, updating its language to reflect the modern computing landscape. Many examples and analogies have thus been adjusted or replaced, to make them more relevant. Because reading patterns have also changed as students engage more with smaller screens, we have shifted the writing style throughout every chapter to be more direct and concise. Despite the massive change in the text, instructors will be pleased to know that we have not changed the order of presentation, with the exception of some new special features.

The most prominent of the new features is the introduction of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) as optional sections at the end of each chapter, beginning with the chapter on program input. Most modern students come into our courses having never seen console input/output, which is a relic of 20th-century systems that preceded the Internet.
