This book shows readers how to write small, well-understood procedures in successive versions within well-defined modules with separate test drivers. With a focus on language-independent design, this book instructs readers in designing programs from specifications, and to work first with descriptions, then prototypes, through program revision. The book brings a mathematical viewpoint to concrete problems, and utilizes Modula-2 for programming examples. Each new set of concepts is accompanied by diagrams, words, and equations, in addition to question-answer dialogues that reflect the most common reader difficulties.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Inspector Harry Hole tracks a Norwegian serial killer in this “fiendishly complex and terrifically entertaining” (The New York Times Book Review) installment of the New York Times bestselling series. "Maddeningly addictive.” —Vanity Fair One night, after the first snowfall of the year, a boy named Jonas wakes up and discovers that his mother has disappeared. Only one trace of her remains: a pink scarf, his Christmas gift to her, now worn by the snowman that inexplicably appeared in their yard earlier that day. Inspector Harry Hole suspects a link between the missing woman and a suspicious letter he’s received. The case deepens when a pattern emerges: over the past decade, eleven women have vanished—all on the day of the first snow. But this is a killer who makes his own rules ... and he’ll break his pattern just to keep the game interesting, as he draws Harry ever closer into his twisted web. With brilliantly realized characters and hair-raising suspense, international bestselling author Jo Nesbø presents his most chilling case yet—one that will test Harry Hole to the very limits of his sanity.
