Publisher's Synopsis
Beginning with a general overview of computer hardware and software, this text provides an introduction to Pascal, and explains how to define a technical problem and plan its solution so that it can be coded using Pascal or any other computer language.;The second edition adds two new chapters: one on records and one on files. It discusses recursion, along with associated examples and problems, demonstrating the characteristics of recursive as opposed to iterative solutions, applies Pascal to the solution of series impedance circuits via vector analysis using polar and rectangular co-ordinates, and adds application tasks and programming problems.
