Computers and Their Applications

STRUCTURED
PROGRAMMING
WITH COMAL
ROY ATHERTON, Director, Computer Education Centre,
Bulmershe College, Reading
This book draws together, "under one roof", the
simple style and ease of
the
programming language
BASIC with the elegantly sophisticated structures
and clear appearance of the more recent COMAL.
The definitive spirit which these languages share is
their virtue of simplicity in manipulation.
The
author offers a suitable introduction to
programming and problem analysis either for
the beginner, or to those who know BASIC. He
organises his material into a learning order, tested
over the years by both students and teachers,
comparable to a spiral in which topics are treated
piece-by-p
iece,
introducing new material at the
appropriate moment. Whilst
it
is not a set of
lecture notes,
it
compromises by carefully intro-
ducing new material in each chapter, thereby not
exhausting
the
reader;
information on these new
topics
is built upon as the book progresses, thus
saving the reader the common problem of referring
back.
Roy Atherton's treatment is logical, maintains
development and advancement at a steady
level,
avoiding unnecessarily rigorous explanations and
syntactic
detail. He approaches syntax rules and
structures
in a creative, "free-wheeling" and
imaginative way to be made rigorous and com-
prehensive at a later stage.
Readership:
All
teachers
and
students
of computing
science
in colleges, universities and schools, non-specialist
users
of computers in universities, students in sixth
forms,
personal
computer users, small computer users
in
business,
academic
institutions, industry, government, etc.

THE ELLIS HORWOOD SERIES IN
COMPUTERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Series Editor:
BRIAN MEEK
Director of the Computer Unit, Queen Elizabeth College, University of London
The series aims to provide up-to-date and readable texts on the theory and practice of
computing, with particular though not exclusive emphasis on computer applications. Pref-
erence is given in planning the series to new or developing areas, or to new approaches in
established areas.
The books will usually be at the level of introductory or advanced undergraduate courses.
In most cases they will be suitable as course texts, with their use in industrial and commer-
cial fields always kept in mind. Together they
will
provide a valuable nucleus for a computing
science library.
