Features

Hallmark features of this title

• A problem-driven, fundamentals-first approach focuses on problem solving rather than syntax.
• The step-by-step presentation starts at the beginning, teaching basic concepts and techniques before writing custom classes.
  • Topics flow from fundamentals to object-oriented programming, from simple functions to STL, and from simple data types to classic structures.
• Programming exercises are grouped by level of difficulty to give students many opportunities to practice and apply skills.
• Engaging examples and problems provide interesting context for concepts. Examples are drawn from math, science, business, finance, gaming, animation and multimedia to make the material more relatable.
• Flexible chapter ordering allows instructors to skip or cover graphics later.

Description

For introductory courses in Python Programming and Data Structures.

A fundamentals first approach to programming helps students create efficient, elegant code

RevelTM Introduction to Python Programming and Data Structures introduces students to basic programming concepts using a fundamentals-first approach that prepares students to learn object-oriented programming and advanced Python programming. This approach presents programming concepts and techniques that include control statements, loops, functions, and arrays before designing custom classes. Students learn basic logic and programming concepts prior to moving into object-oriented and GUI programming. The content incorporates a wide variety of problems with various levels of difficulty and covers many application areas to engage and motivate students.
