Programming, Problem Solving and Abstraction with C

by Alistair Moffat

Professor Alistair Moffat has been a member of the academic staff at the University of Melbourne since 1987. This book has evolved out his highly-regarded lecture presentations, and draws on his two decades of teaching experience with first-year students. The readable style is punctuated by more than 100 working programs, and each chapter includes a detailed case study, highlighted key points, and a range of exercises.

Budget-priced text covering programming in C, and an introduction to computer science--in other words, a bog standard first-semester, first-year syllabus. The last four chapters include an introduction to algorithm design and analysis, covering dynamic data structures, hashing, sorting algorithms, and searching.

Reviews

[Ali Eideh · Rating 1 out of 5]

Explanations of figures, tables and blocks of code often precede their presentation in text. Having to jump back and forth to make sense of explanations/references to pieces of code which appear a couple of pages later makes for an unintuitive reading experience.
