I have used it much in scientific= programming. At an University I am asked to teach programming but in C and= C++ to fist year students. After having spent some years with Ada, I'm rel= ecutant to "throw away" my good programming habits from Ada and embrace C/C= ++. I would like to know if there exist(s) good book(s) at introductory lev= el for C/C++ that may go in the spirit of Ada so that I won't feel wasting = my time and energy teaching C/C++? Also I will start the above course with Algorithms in which I have little k= nowledge. Any suggestions for good books on this topic? Thank you. Kouaoua
