Third Edition vs. Fifth Edition

[RazorSharp357]

Greetings All !

First post here and as a peruse, I've become so grateful for the wealth of information being shared within this community.

Thank You much, to all who participate.

Ok, so , here's my question: I'm scheduled to take TESU's "Programmable Logic Controllers" course online. The class (according to MBS Direct) requires I get a "Fifth Edition" PLC book for almost $200. I'm trying to save a bit of coin and was wondering if using a "Third Edition" book of the same title and made by the same author, would suffice for the successful completion of the course ?

Thank in advance for any and all feedback on this.

Respectfully Yours,

In the TESU courses I've taken, written assignments were usually taken from the end of chapter questions or from in book exercises. An old edition might not be similar enough.

You can buy it used, or rent it (Amazon for sure, not sure where else but I know they're out there).
