A problem-first introduction to programming in C, the language that still powers everything from embedded systems to operating systems.

Each chapter takes one classic problem and walks through it scene by scene: defining the problem, working out the logic, writing the code line by line and explaining what every part does. The volume moves steadily from basic arithmetic through logical constructs, recursion, array manipulation and pattern printing.

A textbook with comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts of the Python programming paradigm, organised into well-structured chapters that build on one another.

Two appendices make it a practical companion: Appendix A has solutions to the exercise problems, and Appendix B has Python code for common programming problems. Clear instructions for downloading and installing PyCharm get readers set up from day one.

An academic textbook on data structures and algorithms, co-written by four engineering educators from institutions across Karnataka and Maharashtra.

Together, the authors bring decades of classroom experience and research in network security, wireless sensor networks, cryptography, IoT and big data, giving students a grounded view of how core data structures and algorithms are taught and applied.
