Introduces two or more realistic sample programs in each chapter which demonstrate application of the program development process to an actual programming situation from start to finish - covering everything from problem definition to input/output specifications, processing requirements, hierarchy charts, program flowcharts, pseudocode, and program code. Stresses the importance of using top-down logic design and modular structure programming to construct high-quality, easy-to-read programs. Dissects program code and explains step-by-step how the program statements work together to produce the desired output. Examines menu-driven programming, data validation, guidelines for creating efficient and effective menu systems, and sequential, relative and indexed files. Checkpoint exercises, chapter summaries, and programming projects are included.
