This is a complete introduction to Pascal for students with no prior knowledge of computers or programming. Carefully designed and presented, the book features programming material (programs, output, and tables) on right-hand pages, with corresponding explanations found on left-hand pages. Different programming techniques are presented, ranging from top-down design and stepwise refinement of pseudocode to the bottom-up approach. The tool box approach is also used to write some of the longer programs. In addition, stepwise refinement is used for many of the longer programs. With its rigorous approach, Turbo Pascal is intended to have even newcomers programming in their first session at the computer.
