Synopsis
Description Prelude to Programming provides beginning students with alanguage-independent framework for learning core programmingconcepts and effective design techniques. This approach givesstudents the foundation they need to understand the logic behindprogram design and to establish effective programming skills. Fully revised, the Fourth Edition offers students a livelyand accessible presentation as they learn core programming concepts? including data types, control structures, data files and arrays,and program design techniques such as top-down modular design andproper program documentation and style. Problem-solving skills aredeveloped when students learn how to use basic programming toolsand algorithms, which include data validation, defensiveprogramming, calculating sums and averages, and searching andsorting lists. A copy of the RAPTOR flow-charting software isincluded with the Fourth Edition.
