Introducing C. to PASCAL Programmers

The C programming language has become one of the most popular high level computer languages. Most programmers graduate to C after programming in one or more structured languages like PASCAL. This volume takes a simple yet effective approach to helping PASCAL programmers learn C. It presents equivalent program listings in PASCAL and C side by side so readers can clearly see the similarities and differences between the two languages. Learning by comparing similar listings of the two languages enables the reader to draw on his or her experience as a Pascal programmer. The book covers everything PASCAL programmers need to know to learn C. The PASCAL source code allows the reader to understand in greater depth the task of the equivalent C listing. Throughout the chapters, there are special notes for programmers in C as well as PASCAL-to-C transition hints. This useful guide provides examples in Turbo C and Turbo PASCAL, the newest ANSI C standards, helpful summaries of the C language syntax and C functions in Turbo C and Quick C and chapter-end summaries to reinforce important points and concepts.
