This book intends to teach you how to program a computer using the Pascal programmin g language , usin g th e concept s an d topic s discusse d i n th e Principles o f Programming.

Introductio n t o Programmin g Practice : Pascal
A Globa l View
The goal of this book is to teach you how to program computers using the Pascal programmin g language . However , learnin g t o writ e compute r program s i s very muc h lik e learnin g an y skill , yo u mus t firs t understan d th e underlyin g principles upo n whic h th e craf t i s base d an d the n practice , practice , practice.
Fo r example , yo u ca n rea d al l th e book s eve r publishe d abou t ridin g a bicycl e but, unti l yo u actuall y ge t o n on e an d star t pedalin g o n you r own , yo u wil l no t know ho w t o rid e a bicycle . Th e sam e applie s t o compute r programming ! Here , we provid e th e secon d book , th e Programmin g Practice : Pascal , whic h assume s that yo u hav e alread y familiarize d yoursel f wit h th e Principle s o f Programming (referre d t o a s Principles) : th e firs t boo k whic h describe s th e metho d behind proble m solvin g usin g a computer.
A s i n th e Principle s book , Programmin g Practice : Pasca l emphasize s th e adage, it s bes t t o lear n throug h examples. Eac h chapte r use s exampl e programs, man y take n fro m th e Principle s book , t o teac h th e sam e point . Fo r thi s reason, you may find the number of examples overwhelming and you should feel free to pa y attentio n t o onl y th e example s whic h yo u fee l bes t describ e th e poin t tha t is bein g illustrated.
Th e Roa d Ahead
I n thi s section , w e giv e a brie f summar y o f wha t i s i n eac h chapte r o f the Programmin g Practice : Pascal . A synopsi s o f eac h chapte r i s presente d s o that yo u ca n visualiz e th e roa d ahead.
Chapte r , Computing : A shor t surve y o f som e applications , thi s chapter introduce s softwar e b y givin g som e example s o f package d programs, applications , whic h perfor m specifi c tasks.
Chapte r , Programmin g Language : Pascal , i n thi s chapte r w e further introduce the Pascal programming language by comparing it to natural language s an d b y usin g synta x diagram s t o hel p ou r understanding . Some extremel y simpl e Pasca l progra m example s ar e give n a s illustration s of th e synta x presented . Althoug h i t wil l tak e a fe w mor e chapter s to introduc e al l o f th e Pasca l syntax , som e othe r example s o f complete Pasca l program s ar e als o give n i n thi s chapter.
Chapte r , Dat a an d Actions , thi s chapte r continue s wit h the introductio n t o th e Pasca l programmin g languag e tha t wa s starte d i n the last two chapters. Its main concerns are the basic components of the languag e wit h som e emphasi s o n th e wa y i n whic h th e languag e is
