Programming Logic and Design, Comprehensive, Fifth Edition provides the beginning pro-grammer with a guide to developing structured program logic. This textbook assumes no programming language experience. The writing is nontechnical and emphasizes good programming practices. The examples are business examples; they do not assume mathe-matical background beyond high school business math. Additionally, the examples illus-trate one or two major points; they do not contain so many features that students become lost following irrelevant and extraneous details. The examples in Programming Logic and Design have been created to provide students with a sound background in logic, no matter what programming languages they eventually use to write programs. This book can be used in a stand-alone logic course that students take as a prerequisite to a programming course, or as a companion book to an introductory programming text using any programming language.
