Data Structures And Problem Solving With Turbo Pascal

KEY BENEFIT: Designed for those with an introductory knowledge of programming and problem solving in Pascal, this book uses discussions, examples, exercises, complete programs, and sample runs to expose users to more advanced techniques. Covers topics such as software development; data structures and abstract data types; strings; stacks; queues; algorithms and recursion; lists; other linked structures; binary trees; sorting; sorting and searching files; trees; graphs and digraphs; object-and oriented programming.

The bestselling exploration of recursion and recursive problem solving is now available in a new Turbo Pascal edition. This new edition includes optional sections on object-oriented programming as well as coverage of Turbo Compiler Directives, Turbo Compiler Error Messages, and the difference between Turbo Pascal and Standard Pascal.

Thoroughly revised and updated Turbo Pascal retains the excellent pedagogy, outstanding clarity, and balanced presentation that marked earlier editions as leaders in computer science education. An emphasis on problem solving and algorithmic design teaches students to implement programs most effectively. A sensible organization introduces concepts where students need them most, and an extensive and varied selection of exercises and case studies support and strengthen concepts learned. In addition, all programming examples follow well-defined methodologies that reinforce proper problem-solving principles.

A slower-paced introduction to Pascal featuring development of procedures and parameters after loops and conditional statements. The text includes a Turbo Pascal appendix with comments referenced to specific examples. This is the paperback version of the first half of Nance, Naps Introduction to Computer Science.

The latest version of Turbo Pascal 5.0 and compiler directives are addressed. A new appendix contains Turbo Pascal's run time debugger. Places emphasis on data abstraction-taking. Analysis of algorithms, strings, random-access files, sorting techniques. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

A textbook for a first course in problem solving and program design with Turbo Pascal version 7.0, using a five-step problem-solving process to convey the relationship between problem-solving skills and effective software development. Chapter reviews feature summaries, exercises, programming projects, and case studies. This fifth edition introduces computer graphics and the object-oriented paradigm. Assumes background in high school algebra and no prior programming experience. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book uses Turbo Pascal to teach data structures and software engineering topics with an emphasis on data abstraction and the use of abstract data types. The book contains features like case studies, program style sections, syntax display boxes, common error sections, chapter reviews, quick-check exercises, and programming projects to aid in learning.
