Pascal: An Introduction to the Art and Science of Programming - Softcover

With expanded coverage of abstract data types (ADTs) and time analysis techniques, the Fourth Edition of Walter Savitch's Pascal continues to set the standard for a modern, comprehensive introduction to programming and computer science. This hallmark book builds critical structured problem-solving techniques through a proven algorithm development approach. Over 40 case studies support this method, including a number of new case studies in this edition that focus on ADT implementations. The book's integrated coverage of software engineering topics, extensive exercises, and special programming and problem-solving tips give programmers the necessary skills to write efficient, well-structured programs.

Walt Savitch is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California at San Diego, where he has been one of the main designers of the computer science curriculum. A well-known and respected author, he has written widely on complexity theory and on computational linguistics, and published a textbook on computability theory.
