Modula-2: Problem Solving and Programming with Style

Requiring no prior knowledge of programming, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of Modula-2, emphasizing the development of good programming style and skills. Designed to allow students to use longer, more instructional programs quickly, it presents methods of algorithm development with examples presented early in the text and throughout the book. Offers a thorough explanation and illustrations of problem solving through top-down analysis and covers procedures and parameters, allowing students to deal with non-trivial realistic programs early in the course. Also introduces arrays designed to provide a strong foundation for studying modules and other topics. Includes over 60 examples of complete programs, ``Check Your Understanding'' exercises, numerous exercises requiring modifications of existing programs, plus ``warning sections'' for debugging programs and avoiding errors.
