Source Code for Starting Out With Programming Logic and Design, 5th Edition

Help students build an understanding of programming logic step-by-step

• Written in a clear, friendly, and easy-to-understand manner, the text uses a language-independent, step-by-step approach to teach programming concepts and problem-solving skills.
• Uses easy-to-understand pseudocode, flowcharts, and other tools to teach students how to design the logic of programs without the complication of language syntax.
• Each chapter presents a multitude of program design examples. Short examples highlight specific programming topics, and more involved examples focus on problem solving.
• Each chapter includes at least one In the Spotlight section that provides step-by-step analysis of a specific problem and demonstrates a solution to that problem.
• New - Focus on Languages: Java, Python, and C++ sections at the end of Chapters 2—15 discusses how the chapter’s main topics are implemented in the Java, Python, and C++ programming languages.
• New - Init()  module section in Chapter 15 is a startup module in a GUI application, similar to the start  method in a JavaFX application, or the Form_Load  handler in a Windows Forms application.
• New - Designing Apps for Mobile Devices section in Chapter 15 discusses some of the common issues developers face when designing apps for mobile devices.

Convey and reinforce major programming concepts

• Offer a variety of examples, questions, and exercises:
• Example Programs are practical, real-world examples provided in each chapter that test student knowledge of important information. Pseudocode, flowcharts, and other design tools are used in the example programs.
• Review Questions and Exercises appear in each chapter and present a thorough and diverse set of review questions and exercises.
• New - Motivational programming exercises have been added to several chapters.
• Programming Exercises help solidify the student’s knowledge of the topics currently being studied and appear in each chapter.
• Programming Challenges and Case Studies present real-world problems to be solved, and solidify students’ knowledge of topics at hand offer.
• Debugging Exercises appear in most chapters andprovide a set of debugging exercises in which the student examines a set of pseudocode algorithms and identifies logical errors.
• In the Spotlight, Concept Statements, Checkpoints, and Program Outputs appear throughout each chapter to reinforce students’ understanding of key chapter topics.

Provide online resources for student success

• The following items are available at www.pearson.com/cs-resources:
• VideoNotes developed specifically for this book. Icons appear throughout the text alerting the student to videos about specific topics.
• Updated - All of the book’s Language Reference Guides have been updated.
• Updated - Programming language companions introduce the JavaTM, Python®, Visual Basic®, and C++ programming languages, and correspond on a chapter-by-chapter basis with the textbook. Many of the pseudocode programs that appear in the textbook also appear in the companions, implemented in a specific programming language.
• The Flowgorithm flowcharting application link is provided for the free Flowgorithm flowchartingapplication, developed by Devin Cook at Sacramento State University. The app allows students to create programs using simple flowcharts and supports the flowcharting conventions used in this textbook, as well as several other standard conventions.
• The RAPTOR flowcharting environment link is provided for downloading. RAPTOR is a flowchart-based programming environment developed by the US Air Force Academy Department of Computer Science.
