Title
The reasoning for the advanced placement C++ subset
Abstract
The programming language used for the Advanced Placement Computer Science (AP CS) courses and examinations will change from Pascal to C++ beginning with the 1998-1999 academic year. This decision, proposed by the AP Computer Science Development Committee and approved by the College Board, was made in 1994. The 5-year transition period was crucial in defining a C++ subset and providing time for the high school teachers teaching AP CS to attend professional development activities. In [1], the authors appear to misunderstand the reasoning and the forces that helped define the AP C++ subset. This paper attempts to correct those.
