Program design with pseudocode

by T.E. Bailey, Kris Lundgaard

This text stresses logical thinking and program design independently of a particular computer language. The authors present methods of structured problem-solving and modular logic so that students can become conversant with these skills before learning syntax and programming code in a specific language. Various design tools, such as flow charts, IPO diagrams, and hierarchy charts, enhance explanations and compare different problem-solving techniques. In this edition, the authors have included more material on data types, Loop Whiles and reports generated with page numbers and control breaks. Chapter 7 now covers a wide range of topics such as data and programme correctness, and programme testing using modular concepts. Containing numerous exercises, this text exposes students to a variety of programming constructs through the use of pseudocode and encourages logical thinking by emphasizing problem-solving skills within the context of programming.
