About the course

Aim

After the course the student will be able to:

create programmable solutions to problems using an imperative approach
create abstraction in the form of subroutines and basic composed data types
know and use two imperative programming languages

Content

The student will aquire basic problem solving skills and genereal programming skills in a suitable beginner language. The student will move on to more advanced concepts in the second half of the course in order to widen the view on imperative programming and create a foundation to build on in follow up courses. Specific course topics include:

Basic types and variabels
Basic input and output
Statements and operators
Abstraction using subroutinees
Code modules using file separation
Recursion
Random numbers
Command line arguments
Abstraction using composed types
Error handling/exceptions
Pointers and memory management
Files and streams
Comparison of and progression to a second language
