A working programmer's dream--hundreds of typical programming problems, with creative ways to solve them, in an easy-to-use reference format and a style similar to the Waite Group's ever-popular and continuing computer language "bibles". Everything readers need to know to begin writing professional Turbo Pascal programs is included here.

Thoroughly revised and updated Turbo Pascal retains the excellent pedagogy, outstanding clarity, and balanced presentation that marked earlier editions as leaders in computer science education. An emphasis on problem solving and algorithmic design teaches students to implement programs most effectively. A sensible organization introduces concepts where students need them most, and an extensive and varied selection of exercises and case studies support and strengthen concepts learned. In addition, all programming examples follow well-defined methodologies that reinforce proper problem-solving principles.
