A complete course text written in a clear, linear style suited to students studying the full OCR A Level Computer Science specification. Material relevant to the second year only will be indicated, assisting in delivering material to AS and A Level students simultaneously
The aim of this book is to provide detailed coverage of the topics in the new OCR AS and A LevelComputer Science specifications H046 / H446.The book is divided into twelve sections and within each section, each chapter covers material that cancomfortably be taught in one or two lessons. Material that is applicable only to the second year of the fullA Level is clearly marked. Sometimes this may include an entire chapter and at other times, just a smallpart of a chapter.Each chapter contains exercises and questions, some new and some from past examination questions.Answers to all these are available to teachers only in a free Teacher's Pack which can be ordered fromour website book has been written to cover the topics which will be examined in the written papers at bothAS and A Level. Sections 10, 11 and 12 relate principally to problem solving skills, with programmingtechniques covered in sufficient depth to allow students to answer questions in Component 02.Pseudocode, rather than any specific programming language, is used in the algorithms given in thetext. Sample Python programs which implement many of the algorithms are included in a folder with theTeacher's Pack.
