Overview of this book

Solve complex problems in C++ by learning how to think like a computer scientist. This book introduces computational thinking—a framework for solving problems using decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition—and shows you how to apply it using modern C++ features. You'll learn how to break down challenges, choose the right abstractions, and build solutions that are both maintainable and efficient. Through small examples and a large case study, this book guides you from foundational concepts to high-performance applications. You’ll explore reusable templates, algorithms, modularity, and even parallel computing and GPU acceleration. With each chapter, you’ll not only expand your C++ skillset, but also refine the way you approach and solve real-world problems. Written by a seasoned research engineer and C++ developer, this book combines practical insight with academic rigor. Whether you're designing algorithms or profiling production code, this book helps you deliver elegant, effective solutions with confidence.

Putting everything together

It is important to keep one eye on the bigger picture when solving problems. It can be easy to get stuck into the details and forget that the pieces must fit together. We will go back over each of the components and construct the final solution in Chapter 12 and reflect on the whole process. (Reflecting on the problems that you have solved is an important part of the learning process.) The general flow of the corresponding internal components that we need to develop over the next few chapters is shown in Figure 7.1. Understanding the flow of the final program allows us to structure our efforts and how we might want to group the work into manageable packets.

One thing we need to think about before we start is what the rough process of the application will be. A good way to do this is to think about what the main function...
