Summary

This up-to-date text introduces students to Macintosh Pascal and THINK Pascal by placing an emphasis on problem definition and specification and development of algorithms through top-down design and step-wise refinement.

Features

earlier chapters concentrate on the basic mechanics of the Pascal language, including the use of QuickDraw commands. Later chapters introduce advanced topics such as files, pointers, and objects.
focuses on the importance of Pascal syntax and forming algorithms early on during programming.
includes Pascal code of full programs which allows students to test and verify the results and modify the programs to extend their understanding of the topics found in the text.
contains 663 review questions and 241 programming exercises spread throughout the text.
SOFTWARE INFORMATION:
fully tested programs from the text are available on disk (3 1/2 inch IBM compatible) packaged with the instructor's manual.
