Simple Program Design: A Step by Step Approach 4th Edition

Description

This updated text allows readers to develop sound programming skills for solving common business problems. Stressing structured programming and modular design, pseudocode is used as the major program design technique. Language-independent explanations provide a strong foundation in program design problem solving.
