Product Description
Emphasizing the basic concepts of programming and the development of problem-solving skills, this highly-effective intoduction to computer science employs Pascal for implementation programs. Gonzalez and Robbins provide details on the design of algorithms before giving the problem solutions. Chapters on problem-solving and chapters on Pascal syntax are interwoven; this format allows instructors to teach current techniques in problem solving, software engineering, and programming along with the introduction of Pascal syntax. Structured pseudo-code is used consistently in problem-solving to encourage algorithm design as a prelude to program implementation. The text offers a large variety of exercises and problems with a wide range of difficulty. ... Read more

Product Description
This programming textbook emphasizes file processing early, and features step-by-step explanations of sound programming design and structured programming in a problem-orientated approach. There is extensive coverage of single and multiple dimensional arrays, arrays of records, and sequential and binary array searching techniques. Procedures, recursion and sorting are comprehensively discussed and every Pascal statement required in each program example is explained and illustrated. Numerous problems are included, illustrating typical business, scientific and general interest applications. End-of-chapter review questions, coding exercises, structured work-through exercises and student programming assignments are also present. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on introductory courses in Pascal programming. ... Read more

Product Description
Pascal Programming for Libraries is a practical introduction to computer programming designed specifically for library and information center applications. A graded text, this book provides detailed examples of straightforward programs, each fully illustrated and clearly explained. The examples begin with relatively simple computer code and progress to more complex examples using the highly acclaimed language TURBO Pascal, now widely used on personal computers. The applications illustrated deal with such operations as document retrieval, sorting, key wordindexing, selective dissemination of information, and rudimentary technical processes in libraries. ...

Product Description
This handbook aims to provide students who are beginning courses in computer science, with a comprehensive insight into the nature of basic system software (in particular, software for program compilation and execution) by means of a detailed commentary on the architecture, operation and TURBO Pascal source code of a complete miniature programming system, namely syntax checker, compiler and machine code interpreter, for a tiny Pascal-subset programming language called PL/T. The primary purpose of the book is to facilitate in-depth study of the source listings of these typical system programs, which it includes in full. The complete system is also available for supporting practical use in writing PL/T programs or, if desired, in system extension project work. ... Read more

Product Description
Structured programming and top-down design are not only emphasized, but are built right into the text itself, giving students an intuitive feel for these principles. Coverage is complete and includes an entire chapter on program development, which is then demonstrated for each sample program throughout the text. A complete and early introduction to procedures and functions reinforces modularity and provides students with better tools to implement top-down design. There are complete chapters on debugging and recursion, plus introductory chapters on control structures and data structures. The text comprises three types of practice and review problems: "Concepts" review facts and principles; "Tools" focus on a single programming concept, allowing students to write simple programs without being distracted by other aspects of program development; and "Problems" present exercises in which students must integrate material to solve a realistic programming problem. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on introductory courses in computer science using Pascal. ... Read more
