Advancing With The Electron

This book is a comprehensive guide to programming the Electron. An insight into all the areas of coding is provided by covering Input/Output, Variables and Constants, Memory, Loops, Sorting and Searching - in detail. The book takes you on a logical route through the five recognised stages of programming: establishment of the OBJECTIVE, DEVELOPMENT, CODING, TESTING and DOCUMENTATION. Time spent on proper establishment of the OBJECTIVE and DEVELOPMENT will pay for itself tenfold in terms of time wasted on TESTING (debugging) a program written straight into code.

Examples of subroutines to illustrate the use of the Electron's facilities are included at every stage. However, these subroutines are more than just examples. As you learn how to program by typing these listings into your Electron, they fit together and build to form a complete and useful database for your machine.
