Pure C Programming - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Easing students through a complete survey of the C programming language, this consistently paced text begins with an introduction to the language at a level that is understandable by non-C programmers, progresses to intermediate level coverage, then finishes off with more complex concepts, with each topic building upon what precedes it. Current, accurate, and rich with example programs and diagrams, it uses a general purpose approach that gives students the freedom to apply the C programming to a variety of environments, providing a solid foundation in the language that will enable them to move on to more advanced/ reference type books with confidence.* Accessible to non-C/C++ programmers. * Assumes only computer skills - no programming skills. * A focus on "pure" C and C++ language concepts and syntax - Not on programming design techniques, program development methodologies, specific business or science applications, or any specific compilers or development environments. * Provides students with a solid C or C++ foundation - so they can apply C/C++ programming to a variety of environments, and can move on to more advanced/reference type books and compiler help facilities with ease and confidence. STRONG PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT * A consistent pace and level of presentation - Explains C/C++ language topics simply and consistently - without sacrificing or omitting the difficult concepts or syntax. * Introduces students to all concepts gradually, starting easy and building up incrementally to the more difficult levels. * Short, easily digestible chapters, sections, and paragraphs - Breaks long topics into two chapters. * Ensures that students dont get overwhelmed or lost, or fall behind in any chapter. * Non-exaggerated use of icons - Uses just enough icons to enhance the readability of the text. * Keeps students focused on key points - rather than confusing them with a maze of icon-clutter. * Highlighted key words. * Enhances readability. * Meaningful figures and illustrations. * Complements the narrative and addresses the needs of students with visually-oriented learning styles. * Notes and Common Errors icons. * Draws students attention to the C/C++ language special features or programming errors. * Chapter-end review questions. * Helps students assess their comprehension of each chapter. * Chapter-end programming exercises - Features programs that are "doable" within the time and classroom constraints. * Introduces another level of complexity that complements the programming examples in the text. * An accompanying diskette/CD - Contains the source code files for all the program examples in the text, answers to all the end-of-chapter review questions, and the source code files for some of the end-of-chapter programming exercises. * Provides students/instructors with a convenient single-source resource for study/review/teaching. * Authors website. * Provides instructors/students with additional resources. PROGRAM EXAMPLES/PROJECTS * Partial programs. * Explains the topic at hand, enabling students to see how each concept is applied individually. * Complete programs - Further explores topics in the context of fully explained complete programs that are intentionally relatively short and simple. Avoids real-life programming examples - which tend to be huge and complex, and not a good vehicle for learning/teaching C/C++ at the introductory level. The program examples use a minimum of references to aspects that are not covered or are covered in later chapters - to help reduce the frustration of looking at the program listing and not knowing where the keywords/functions are coming from! * Helps students to see how concepts are related, but without introducing aspects or programming nuances that would draw students attention away from the basics. * Programs that are platform independent - None of the program examples use any terminal attribute functions. * A complete text-end menu-driven program - Demonstrates many standard ways of writing C/C++ programs. * Instructors can use the program to demonstrate the process of creating larger, multi-file programs. Depending on the audience, it can be introduced to the class as a long-term project that is incrementally developed, or as a starting point for enhancing its behavior. * Complete source code and output results - For all the program examples. (Source code files are provided on an accompanying diskette/CD.) * Provides students/instructors with a convenient single-source resource for study/review/teaching.
