Self-Check solutions for 5th edition
This document contains complete solutions to all Self-Check problems found at the end of chapters of our textbook. Instructors, please note that students have access to all Self-Check solutions, so Self-Check problems should probably not be assigned as graded homework. (Solutions to Exercises and Programming Projects are not posted publicly for students to see, so those can be assigned as homework problems if so desired.)
