2-9 Software Engineering

Although this chapter introduces only a few Although this chapter introduces only a few programming concepts, there is still much to be said programming concepts, there is still much to be said from a software engineering point of view. We will from a software engineering point of view. We will discuss the concepts of program documentation, data discuss the concepts of program documentation, data naming, and data hiding.naming, and data hiding.
