Publisher's Synopsis
Aimed at a first course in computer programming, this introductory text on the principles of structured program design using the C language, recognizes the growing significance and use of C in the professional programming world. It adopts a "spiral" approach to teaching the C language commands and features as required to demonstrate structured programming concepts. Structured top-down programming techniques form the basis for this book, and are introduced from outset and discussed throughout in the context of realistic programming problems. All programs have been compiled and run under both ANSI C and C++ compilers.
