Course Description: This is an introductory course in programming which aims to develop skills and concepts that are essential to
good programming practice and problem solving. It covers fundamental programming concepts of primitive
data types, arrays, simple I/O, conditional statements, iterative structures and functions. It also includes the
use of testing and debugging techniques. Fundamental to the software development practice is the ability to
develop programs that uses appropriate constructs aside from achieving desired results to solve computing
problems. This course also serves as a preparation for intermediate programming.

At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to make judicious choices of programming
constructs to solve computing problems using appropriate coding standards.

COURSE OUTCOMES (CO):

On the completion of the course, student is expected to be able to do the following:
