Modula-2 Programming (Complete Course Texts)

This series of books teach how to program correctly through design, coding and testing. Fully documented and worked examples and many well tried and tested exercises are given. Readers ultimately should be able to develop and implement commercial, industrial and scientific computer systems. Modula-2, designed by Niklaus Wirth, is a successor to Pascal. The language combines many of the features found in Pascal, with additional features for writing large-scale programs and real-time programming. Modula-2 is a general purpose language, that is easy to learn, and can be used over a wide range of applications. This text should be regarded as essential reading for any student who is studying Computer Science/Studies in either Higher or Further Education, and wants to be fully appraised of modern techniques of software production. The text also provides a suitable conversion course for those readers who can already program in other high-level languages, yet wish to learn Modula-2 in the shortest possible time. It contains a comprehensive appraisal of many important topics found in data structures - arrays, records, linked lists, trees, queues and stacks, and in data processing - sorting, searching, merging, file maintenance and data validation.
