Publisher's Synopsis

This book presents details of a variety of computer programming languages which are readily available for micro-computers. The author adopts an informal approach to the subject, thus encouraging practical involvement linked to a choice of readily available languages.;Each language is dealt with in a separate chapter. Starting with a discussion of the background to the language, a series of example programs follow. These highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the various languages and the reader is encouraged to run the programs on a computer.;Case studies illustrate how a suitable language is selected for a given application. BASIC, pascal, cobol, fortran, C, modula 2 and prolog are all covered, and the book assumes the reader has only a limited knowledge of these languages.;The informal approach coupled with material directed at languages which are realistically available at a reasonable cost, will make this book valuable to all those interested in computer studies.
