Includes index.
1. An Overview of Computers and Programming.
2. Elements of High-Quality Programs.
3. Understanding Structure.
4. Making Decisions.
5. Looping.
6. Arrays.
7. File Handling and Applications.

Appendix A: Understanding Numbering Systems and Computer Codes.
Appendix B: Solving Difficult Structuring Problems.
Teach student programmers the fundamental principles of developing structured program logic and prepare them for success with Joyce Farrell?s PROGRAMMING LOGIC AND DESIGN, COMPREHENSIVE, 9E. A popular choice for foundational programming, this comprehensive book takes a unique, language-independent approach to programming with a distinctive emphasis on modern conventions. Noted for its clear writing style and complete coverage, the book eliminates highly technical jargon while introducing universal programming concepts and ensuring strong programming style and logical thinking.
Frequent side notes and Quick Reference boxes clarify important programming concepts while chapter objectives, concise summaries, and key terms guide learning. End-of-chapter practice provides multiple-choice review as well as programming, gaming, and debugging exercises, and a maintenance exercise that challenges students to improve working logic.
COVERAGE OF THE CASE STRUCTURE IS NOW PRESENTED ALONGSIDE CLOSELY RELATED TOPICS FOR A MORE LOGICAL PROGRESSION. This edition?s thorough treatment of case structure now occurs in the Making Decisions chapter (Ch. 4), which better reflects its close relationship to these topics.
DISCUSSION OF THE "DO-WHILE" STRUCTURE NOW APPEARS IN THE LOOPING CHAPTER. Coverage of the "do-while" structure has been moved from an appendix to the Looping chapter (Ch. 5), where the presentation corresponds with closely related topics. This also provides opportunity for the author to clearly highlight the differences between a "do-while" and a "while" loop.
THIS EDITION CLARIFIES THE DISCUSSION OF LOOPS. The author has carefully rewritten this edition?s presentation of loops to reduce any possible reader confusion and clearly explain the differences between selections and loops.
THOROUGHLY UPDATED ADVANCED DATA HANDLING CONCEPTS CHAPTER PREPARES STUDENTS FOR MORE COMPLEX CHALLENGES. Chapter 8 is now rewritten to emphasize the important concepts of sorting rather than details.
STREAMLINED PRESENTATION FOCUSES ON MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND SKILLS. To reduce the book?s length and better meeting the needs of a typical Programming Logic semester-long course, this edition has removed chapters covering the UML and databases.
"UP FOR DISCUSSION" QUESTIONS NOW APPEAR IN THE INSTRUCTOR?S MANUAL. These engaging discussion questions now appear in your Instructor?s manual to reduce the size of each chapter in the student text while still keeping these useful classroom tools at your fingertips.
