Course aims

The objective of the course is to provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills for computer programming. The course introduces the fundamental techniques of programming as a foundation for more advanced study of computer science. This course is also set up to develop the ability to think algorithmically, use known simple algorithms for data processing and other simple tasks. The student attains main concepts of procedural programming language and skills in using procedural programming language and integrated programming environments for writing, testing and debugging programs.

Brief description of the course

Topics covered: machine level representation of data, overview of programming languages. Fundamental programming constructs: Syntax and semantics of a higher-level language variables, types, expressions, and assignment. Simple I/O conditional and iterative control structures, functions and parameter passing structured decomposition. Fundamental design concepts and principles.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- is familiar with procedural programming principles, concepts and programming languages;
- can analyse easier problems and composes algorithms to solve them using simpler known algorithms;
- presents algorithms with activity diagram and "translates" it into programming language, following the coding rules and best practices;
- uses for programming integrated development environment, can debug and test the program.
