Abstract:
"Problem Solving and Programming Concepts, Fourth Edition, is one of the few books that successfully teaches problem solving and is not language-specific. Readers find that learning is enhanced by the step-by-step progression of topics and in-depth coverage." "Detailed explanations and examples vividly present and reinforce math functions, control breaks, arrays, pointers, file updates, and report handling. The essential tools of problem solving - structure charts, IPO charts, algorithms, and flowcharts - are extensively used." "New to this edition is coverage of the object-oriented approach."--Jacket.
