Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction To Programming

JavaScript is the language of the Web, and it's at the heart of every modern website from the lowliest personal blog to the mighty Google Apps. Though it's simple for beginners to pick up and play with, JavaScript is not a toy—it's a flexible and complex language, capable of much more than the showy tricks most programmers use it for.

Eloquent JavaScript goes beyond the cut-and-paste scripts of the recipe books and teaches you to write code that's elegant and effective. You'll start with the basics of programming, and learn to use variables, control structures, functions, and data structures. Then you'll dive into the real JavaScript artistry: higher-order functions, closures, and object-oriented programming.

Along the way you'll learn to:
Master basic programming techniques and best practices.
Harness the power of functional and object-oriented programming.
Use regular expressions to quickly parse and manipulate strings.
Gracefully deal with errors and browser incompatibilities.
Handle browser events and alter the DOM structure.

Most importantly, Eloquent JavaScript will teach you to express yourself in code with precision and beauty. After all, great programming is an art, not a science—so why settle for a killer app when you can create a masterpiece?

Introduction To Algorithms, 3rd Edition

Before there were computers, there were algorithms. But now that there are computers, there are even more algorithms, and algorithms lie at the heart of computing. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. In this book, the authors tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. Algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The book contains 244 figures — many with multiple parts — illustrating how the algorithms work. It also includes careful analysis of the running times of all algorithms. In this third edition, the entire book once again updated including changes cove...

C Program To Check Whether A Number Is Palindrome Or Not.

This program takes an integer from user and the integer is reversed. If the reversed integer is equal to the integer entered by user then that number is a palindrome. If not that number is not a palindrome.   #include <stdio.h> int main()  { int num, temp, remainder, reverse = 0; printf("Enter an integer: "); scanf("%d", &num); /*  original number is stored at temp */ temp = num; while (num > 0)  { remainder = num % 10; reverse = reverse * 10 + remainder; num /= 10;   }

The Basics Of C Programming - Part 3.

There are a number of different C input commands, the most useful of which is the scanf command. To read a single integer value into the variable called a you can use: scanf("%d",&a); When the program reaches the scanf statement it pauses to give the user time to type something on the keyboard and continues only when users press Enter or Return, to signal that he, or she, has finished entering the value. Then the program continues with the new value stored in a. In this way, each time the program is run the user gets a chance to type in a different value to the variable and the program also gets the chance to produce a different result! The final missing piece in the jigsaw is using the printf function, the one we use to print the value currently being stored in a variable. To display the value stored in the variable a you can use: printf("The value stored in a is %d",a); Note: the scanf function does not prompt for an input. You should ge...
