Programming And Problem Solving With C

In the tradition of Pascal and Turbo Pascal, authors Nell Dale and Chip Weems have teamed up with Mark Headington to offer Programming and Problem Solving with C++ for students in the CS1/C101 course. Written in the same style as the successful Pascal books, this text provides an accessible introduction to programming using C++ for beginning students. The first half of the text gives students a solid foundation in top-down programming techniques. The second half builds on this foundation and explains ADTs, the C++ class, encapsulation, information hiding, and object-oriented software development.

This self-readable and student-friendly text provides a strong programming foundation to solve problems with C language through its well-supported structured programming methodology, rich set of operators and data types. It is designed to help students build efficient and compact programs. The book, now in its second edition, is an extended version of Dr. M.T. Somashekara's previous book titled as Programming in C. In addition to two newly introduced chapters on 'Graphics using C' and 'Searching and Sorting', all other chapters of the previous edition have been thoroughly revised and updated. The usage of pseudocodes as a problem-solving tool has been explored throughout the book before providing C programming solutions for the problems, wherever necessary. This book comes with an increased number of examples, programs, review questions, programming exercises and interview questions in each chapter. Appendices, glossary, MCQs with answers and solutions to interview questions are given at the end of the book. The book is eminently suitable for students of Computer Science, Computer Applications, and Information Technology at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Assuming no previous knowledge of programming techniques, this book is appropriate for all those students who wish to master the C language as a problem-solving tool for application in their respective disciplines. It even caters to the needs of beginners in computer programming. KEY FEATURES • Introduction to problem-solving tools like algorithms, flow charts and pseudocodes • Systematic approach to teaching C with simple explanation of each concept • Expanded coverage of arrays, structures, pointers and files • Complete explanation of working of each program with emphasis on the core segment of the program, supported by a large number of solved programs and programming exercises in each chapter NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION • Points-wise summary at the end of each chapter • MCQs with Answers • Interview Questions with Solutions • Pseudocodes for all the problems solved using programs • Two new chapters on 'Graphics using C' and 'Searching and Sorting’ • Additional review questions and programming exercises

A comprehensive introduction to the C programming language - suitable for novice programmers as well as programmers with a knowledge of other programming languages.

Walter Savitch's Problem Solving with C++, Fifth Edition is available with Savitch's Visual C++ 6.0 Companion, providing everything needed to learn to write and run C++ programs in the Visual C++ environment. Problem Solving with C++ teaches programming techniques and the C++ language, while the Visual C++ 6.0 Companion discusses Visual C++ C++ language enhanced by Microsoft with an editor, a compiler, and a debugger which is designed to accommodate and take full advantage of the Windows operating system. A CD-ROM featuring the Visual C++ language is also included. This book brings the best-selling text book for introducing C++ to fully embrace the most up-to-date C++ standards. Suitable for beginning students, the text covers C++ and basic programming techniques. Students will elarn how to define their own classes whilel gaining a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. By defining their own classes early, students are getting a hands-on experience unrivaled by any other text on the market. Flexible by design, the order in which chapters and sections are covered can easily be changed without any loss on continuity in reading. Instructors can therefore mold this text around the way they want to teach rather than have the text dictate their course's organization.

The best-selling Programming and Problem Solving with C++, now in it's Sixth Edition, remains the clearest introduction to C++, object-oriented programming, and software development available. Renowned author team Nell Dale and Chip Weems are careful to include all topics and guidelines put forth by the ACM/IEEE to make this text ideal for the one- or two-term CS1 course. Their philosophy centers on making the difficult concepts of computer science programming accessible to all students, while maintaining the breadth of detail and topics covered. Key Features: -The coverage of advanced object-oriented design and data structures has been moved to later in the text. -Provides the highly successful concise and student-friendly writing style that is a trademark for the Dale/Weems textbook series in computer science. -Introduces C++ language constructs in parallel with the appropriate theory so students see and understand its practical application. -Strong pedagogical elements, a hallmark feature of Dale/Weems' successful hands-on teaching approach, include Software Maintenance case studies, Problem-Solving case studies, Testing & Debugging exercises, Exam Preparation exercises, Programming Warm-up exercises, Programming Problems, Demonstration Projects, and Quick Check exercises. -A complete package of student and instructor resources include a student companion website containing all the source code for the programs and exercises in the text, additional appendices with C++ reference material and further discussion of topics from the text, and a complete digital lab manual in C++. Instructors are provided all the solutions to the exercises in the text, the source code, a Test Bank, and PowerPoint Lecture Outlines organized by chapter.

This book is suitable for students with little or no programming background. The complete book can easily be covered in a one-semester or one-quarter introductory course on problem solving.

Based off the highly successful Programming and Problem Solving with C++ which Dale is famous for, comes the new Brief Edition, perfect for the one-term course. The text was motivated by the need for a text that covered only what instructors and students are able to move through in a single semester. Important Notice: The digital edition of this book is missing some of the images or content found in the physical edition

Learn to Code by Solving Problems is a practical introduction to programming using Python. It uses coding-competition challenges to teach you the mechanics of coding and how to think like a savvy programmer. Computers are capable of solving almost any problem when given the right instructions. That’s where programming comes in. This beginner’s book will have you writing Python programs right away. You’ll solve interesting problems drawn from real coding competitions and build your programming skills as you go. Every chapter presents problems from coding challenge websites, where online judges test your solutions and provide targeted feedback. As you practice using core Python features, functions, and techniques, you’ll develop a clear understanding of data structures, algorithms, and other programming basics. Bonus exercises invite you to explore new concepts on your own, and multiple-choice questions encourage you to think about how each piece of code works. You’ll learn how to: Run Python code, work with strings, and use variables Write programs that make decisions Make code more efficient with while and for loops Use Python sets, lists, and dictionaries to organize, sort, and search data Design programs using functions and top-down design Create complete-search algorithms and use Big O notation to design more efficient code By the end of the book, you’ll not only be proficient in Python, but you’ll also understand how to think through problems and tackle them with code. Programming languages come and go, but this book gives you the lasting foundation you need to start thinking like a programmer.
