Introduction to Computer Science : A Structured Programming Approach with C

Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C presents both computer science theory and its implementations in the C language with a depth-first approach. It follows a clear organizational structure supplemented by easy to follow charts and tables. All programs and functions are developed in a consistent and readable style based on the authors' extensive academic and industry experience. The first half of the book builds a firm understanding of expressions, introducing pointers only to the extent necessary to cover pass-by-reference and arrays. Beginning with Chapter 9, the text develops the concept of pointers ending with a simple introduction to linked lists.
