This book attempts to teach computer programming to the complete beginner. It assumes you have no knowledge whatsoever about programming and a knowledge of primary school mathematics is all that is required.The main goal is to teach fundamental programming principles using Pascal, a popular language used in schools. However, the book is more about teaching programming basics than it is about teaching Pascal.Basic programming proficiency requires that you know, at least, the following language features: the primitive data types of the language (integer, floating-point, character); how to write input/output statements; how to write conditional statements (if, if...else); how to write looping statements (while, for); how to write functions and how to declare and use arrays. But, more importantly, you need to be able to write programs to solve problems using these features. This book explains all of the above in an easy, conversational style.
