The Little Book of Algorithms 2.0 by William Lau
This workbook is designed to help those learning and teaching Computer Science at secondary school level. The aim of the book is to help students build fluency in their Python programming. The book would suit students who have already been introduced to the three basic programming constructs of structured programming, namely sequence, selection and iteration. The learning curve for programming can be quite steep and this book aims to ease this transition by encouraging practise and gradually introducing more complex concepts such as lists and 2D lists and file writing. Originally, the book was written for 14-16 year old students studying for their GCSE Computer Science programming exam. However, a wide range of students and teachers will find this book useful.The Little Book of Algorithms concisely presents eighteen problems which computer science students will commonly encounter. These problems are solved efficiently using programs written using Python. However, reading these programs is not enough, so this new version of the book now comes with 48 challenges so that you can apply what you have learnt in various ways: Writing your own programsSolving Parson's puzzlesCompleting quizzes Tracing Gap fillsThis range of exercises will help you to become more fluent in Python and ensure that you are comfortable with any question format in a programming exam. Solutions are provided in the back and a series of video tutorials is also provided so that you can code along with the author, hearing his thought processes as he programs.After finishing this book, you should feel more familiar with: While loops and For loopsConcatenating different data typesUsing procedures and functionsWorking with 1D and 2D lists and arraysFile reading and writing This book will show you how to write better Python programs and will expose you to the key skills that are required to do well in any secondary school programming assignment or exa| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
