Progressing from the concrete to the abstract -- and using numerous, substantial case studies and sample programs -- this book explores structured problem solving, data abstraction, software engineering principles, and the comparative analysis of algorithms as fundamental tools of program design. KEY TOPICS: Emphasizes principles of top-down refinement, program design, review, and testing. Uses the C programming language throughout. Offers Internet access to the source code for all the programs and program extracts printed in the book.

  Features

      Stresses recursion through a range of applications and development of criteria for use.

Features numerous case studies that integrate various topics into programs of various size.

Discusses major principles of software engineering and applies them to large programming projects.

Uses the C programming language throughout. Briefly reviews the syntax of C in chapter 1 and provides a brief introduction to the language in an appendix.

Reviews several topics (in appendices) that are often missing from student's preparation:

mathamatical methods.

removal of recursion.

C language features.

Features exercises, programming projects and sample programs (large and small) throughout.

Emphasizes the process of data abstraction and abstract data types (ADTs), separating ADTs from implementation decisions.
