Students' Guide to Program Design (Newnes Informatics Series)
Students' Guide to Program Design - Newnes Informatics Series Author:Lesley Anne Robertson Existing programming texts that use specific languages (PASCAL, BASIC etc) usually gloss over the important step of designing a solution to a given problem. This book tackles program design by using structured programming techniques and pseudocode to develop a solution algorithm. The pseudocode used in the book has been chosen for its closeness ... more »to written English and to the syntax of most programming languages. The book begins with a basic explanation of structured programming techniques, top-down development and modular design. Then, concept by concept, the student is introduced to the syntax of pseudocode; methods of defining the problem; the application of basic control structures in the development of the solution algorithm; desk checking techniques; hierarchy charts; and module design considerations. Examples and problems are given throughout.« less
