Programming and Problem Solving with C++: Brief, Sixth Edition

• Chip Weems, Nell Dale
• Jones and Bartlett Learning

This concise and consolidated edition of the bestselling Programming and Problem Solving with C++ was developed in response to the need for a text that covered only what students and instructors are able to move through in a single semester. Sacrificing none of the breadth and detail of the comprehensive edition, the Brief Edition retains Dale and Weems’s trademark accessible and hands-on style. Highly relevant real-world examples and strong pedagogical features will engage students as they build key skills and absorb critical concepts. The text’s student-focused approach makes even the most difficult concepts in computer science programming accessible to all students. Expanded and reorganized, Programming and Problem Solving with C++: Brief, Sixth Edition presents advanced topics at the introductory level and is the ideal text for one-term introductory computer science programming courses.

Explanation for leap year algorithm:

Step 1 : If the year is evenly divisible by 4, then go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5.

Step 2 : If the year is evenly divisible by 100, then go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4.

Step 3 : If the year is evenly divisible by 400, then go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.

Step 4 : The year is a leap year (366 days).

Step 5 : The year is not a leap year (365 days).

Consider the year: 1900

The year 1900 is divisible by 4 and 100 (remainder 0), but not divisible by 400 (Refer Step1, Step2, and Step3).

So, the year 1900 is not a leap year.

Consider the year: 2000

The year 2000 is divisible by 4, 100, and 400 (remainder 0) (Refer Step1, Step2, and Step3).

So, the year 2000 is a leap year.

Consider the year: 1996

The year 1996 is divisible by 4 (Refer Step1 and Step2)

So, the year 1996 is a leap year.

Consider the year: 1998

The year 1998 is not divisible by 4 (Refer Step1).

So, the year 1998 is not a leap year.
