About this title

Synopsis

Introduction to Programming Languages: Programming in C, C++, Scheme, Prolog, C#, and Python takes a balanced approach to teaching programming paradigms, principles, and the language mechanisms while focusing on language constructs and programming skills. It is intended for a course where students have already completed a basic computer science course and have learned a high-level programming language like C, C++, or Java.

Introduction to Programming Languages:

• covers five languages: imperative C, object-oriented C++, functional Scheme, logic Prolog, and multi-paradigm Python.
• teaches language structures at different layers (lexical, syntactic, contextual, and semantic), the control structures and the execution models of imperative, object-oriented, functional, and logic programming languages.
• explains program processing (compilation vs. interpretation) and preprocessing (macros and inlining).
• describes different aspects of a variable, including its type, scope, name, address, memory location, and value.
• uses program examples to explain the contents and uses memory maps to show the execution process.
• includes assignments, programming exercises, and projects at the end of each chapter.

This is packaged with access to the KHQ, a user-friendly, self-testing application available on the iTunes and Google Play store.  It includes questions based on the content in the publication and gives students feedback and explanations on answers.
