Problem Solving and Programming Concepts

For introductory level problem solving for languages, problem solving for applications, or any language course found where problem solving is a part of the course work. Designed for students with little or no computer experience, this text provides a step-by-step progression with detailed explanations and many illustrations from the basics of mathematical functions and operators to the design and use of such techniques as code, indicators, control-breaks, arrays, pointers, file updates, report handling, data structures, and object-oriented programming. The tools of problem solving including problem analysis charts, interactivity (structure) charts, IPO charts, coupling diagrams, algorithms, and flowcharts are demonstrated and explained throughout. This is a revision used by thousands of students.
