Karel++: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Object-Oriented Programming Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition

by Joseph Bergin; Mark Stehlik; Jim Roberts

This creative approach to learning C++ programming introduces readers to Karel the Robot and then shows them how to design programs that instruct Karel to perform complex tasks. Karel's world is essentially a practice field on which readers learn valuable lessons about creating and debugging programs.


From the publisher

Using the same format that has become so popular in Pascal, Karel the Robot has now become object-oriented. This book is intended to teach novice programmers the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. It accomplishes this goal with an analog equivalent of C++ that allows introductory computer science students to work through a programming project from start to finish.

The book opens by explaining the elaborate Robot world that Karel lives in, a world filled with objects. The text continues this strong metaphor throughout. Through the metaphor, students learn the art of solving programming problems in an object-oriented paradigm.

This text is suitable for any introductory or second course in computer science where C++ is used.

First line

Robots live in a world that is unexciting by today's standards (there are no volcanoes, Chinese restaurants, or symphony orchestras), but it does include enough variety to allow robots to perform simply stated, yet interesting tasks.
