This textbook is intended for students of computer science, engineering and mathematics who have no prior knowledge of programming. The emphasis is more on developing good programming style and skills than on the Modula-2 language; however, the complete language is presented. Principles of good style are discussed in terms of how they apply to Modula-2 programs, although they are generally applicable to most recently developed programming languages. In addition, all significant deviations of the VAX, M2SDS and Turbo implementations of Modula-2 are discussed. Almost all sections have a few short exercises, with answers to over 170 of these provided at the end of the book. Furthermore, there are some longer programming problems at the end of each chapter. Suggestions for debugging a program and for avoiding errors appear frequently in the text, and each chapter begins with an overview and ends with a chapter review.
