Concentrating on Turbo PASCAL, this book is one of a series which aims to provide programmers with just enough information to get them started on each particular subject.

This introductory programming text for TURBO Pascal incorporates graphics and object-oriented programming and emphasizes communication skills. It covers procedures, functions, and parameters early in the text. Pedagogy includes Note of Interest boxes, communication and style tips, focus on program design, programming problems and projects, and communication in practice activities.

Algorithms; Basic pascal concepts; Elementary pascal programming; Flow of control; Running debugging and testing programs; Additional pascal data types; Functions and procedures; Building quality programs.

The material for this book first appeared in the magazine Personal Computer World, as a series of articles which ran from September 1979 to June 1980. It was designed to appeal to a new (in 1979) sort of reader the microcomputer enthusiast, both amateur and professional about whom two assumptions were made. The first was that the reader was someone who had already learned to program (probably in BASIC) and who wanted to create programs in as systematic and proficient a fashion as possible. The second was that the reader would not be adverse to an occasional glimpse of how the underlying machine played its part in executing these programs. As a result of these, no attempt was made to teach the "problem-solving" aspects of programming (although the Top-Down philosophy for program design formed a key feature) and no apology was made for the repeated references to the way in which a Pascal compiler "viewed" some particular code fragment. In preparing this material for publication as a single volume, there has been little deviation from this policy. Nevertheless, it should be remarked that the first five chapters contain all the material one would need to cover in an initial course in programming (up to the level of most BASIC's) while the second half of the book tackles some of the more sophisticated techniques available to the Pascal programmer.

Pascal Programming Simple Guide for Beginners Pascal is a high-level, imperative, and statically typed programming language that was created in the late 1960s by Swiss computer scientist Niklaus Wirth. It was named after the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. Pascal was designed with a strong emphasis on readability and structured programming, making it an excellent choice for beginners as well as experienced programmers. Pascal gained significant popularity in the early days of computing due to its simplicity and efficiency. It was widely used in education and as a development tool for various applications, including scientific and engineering software. One of the most famous Pascal compilers is Turbo Pascal, developed by Borland, which played a significant role in popularizing the language. Pascal is known for its clean and well-defined syntax, which promotes good coding practices and makes it easier to write bug-free and maintainable code. It also supports strong type-checking, meaning that the data types of variables must be explicitly declared, reducing the chances of type-related errors. Pascal has evolved over the years, and different dialects of the language have emerged, such as Object Pascal, which introduced object-oriented programming features. Delphi, a popular integrated development environment (IDE), is based on Object Pascal and has been used for developing Windows applications. TO CONTINUE READING, GRAB YOUR COPY NOW!!!
