Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of this revised and expanded edition is to help the reader to acquire and develop the skill of computer programming in a block-structured language and to foster an understanding of the related topics of data structures and data processing. No previous knowledge of computer programming or computer concepts is assumed.;The book is intended particularly for students of Computer Studies to GCE Advanced level, BTEC National and Higher National awards, first-year undergraduate level and British Computer Society Part One examinations. It should also be suitable for students needing a knowledge of programming, but whose major course of study is not computing - for example, engineering students and those requiring a self-study course - and as a primer for readers who can already program in other languages, but wish to learn PASCAL in the shortest possible time. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
