Peer reviewedSher, David B. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2000
Focuses on how to write clear programs with C++ that are easier to debug and modify. Student programs designed according to these outlined principles will tend to develop more quickly, have less bugs, and be much easier to debug. (ASK)
Descriptors: Computer Uses in Education, Higher Education, Mathematics Instruction, Programming
Peer reviewedBergmann, Seth; Chandrupatla, Tirupathi R.; Osler, Thomas J. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2002
Describes how to modify old QBASIC programs to run in visual Basic. (NB)
