Description a hands-on book on rudiments of programming, programming techniques through c: a beginner's companion teaches you the techniques of solving problems from simpler oneslike "finding out the area of a triangle" to more involved oneslike "sorting and searching". The visual approach to solve problemsin a step-by-step manner through flowcharts makes it easy for thebeginners to solve problems and write programs using the cprogramming language. The emphasis is on problem solving proceduresrather than learning a language. The procedure to solve a problem is explained in the method which is independent of any programming language. A detailed flowchart is given for each problem to determine the sequence of operations. Just required c details are provided in c tips to enable learners gain insights. Complete c programs are provided for each example discussed. Includes end-of-chapter exercises to test your understanding. Algorithms and flowcharts basic techniques decision making looping techniques multi-way decision making arrays characters and string handling solving with modules pointers structures dr. M. G.
