Oh! Pascal! is an exceptionally readable, thorough, and educationally superior introduction to Pascal programming and problem solving. Oh! Think's Lightspeed Pascal includes: a gentle hands-on introduction to Think's Lightspeed Pascal programming environment; Topic-by-topic discussions of the differences between Standard Pascal and Think's Lightspeed Pascal, Version 2; Thorough introductions to the most important special features of Think's Lightspeed Pascal, including string processing, file manipulation, and graphics; A wealth of programming examples in Think's Lightspeed Pascal; Supplementary exercises for Think's Lightspeed Pascal programmers; A tear-out quick reference card; An optional supplementary disk containing all of the programs in Oh! Think's Lightspeed Pascal! and many of the programs in Oh! Pascal!

Welcome to the third edition of Oh! Pascal! Like its predecessors, Oh! Pascal! is an introduction to problem solving and programming. It requires absolutely no background in computing and remains, I hope, interesting enough to be read before the lecture instead of just before the exam. I had a lot of fun putting Oh! Pascal! together, and I think that you'll like working with it over the next few months.

This is an exceptionally readable, thorough, and educationally superior introduction to Pascal programming and problem solving.
