Course Description

This course teaches problem solving using computers, algorithms, program structure, constants, types,
variables, reserved words, syntax diagram, identifiers, numbers, character strings and constant
declarations; basic data types, statements (assignment, I/O, control), structured data types, subprograms,
file management; recursive functions; overloaded functions; linking multiple source files; and data
structures. Concrete examples enable the students to write a program and uses data structure elements in
the programs.

Course objectives
On completion of the course successfully, students will be able to:
➢ Apply programming skills to solve problems
➢ Understand basic concepts in computer science such as Boolean logic and problem decomposition
➢ Learn data structures (such as strings, matrices and arrays), logic and control structures (such as ‘if’
and ‘for’ statements), data manipulation and presentation (loading data files, computing simple
statistics and graphing data), and proper programming techniques (writing modular, well-
commented code)
➢ Understand programming concepts that will assist in learning other languages (like Java, Perl, or
C#)
➢ Learn about computing resources on campus and online
➢ Analyze simple problems and formulate solutions
➢ Develop computer programs for quality program solving
➢ Practice good programming disciplines and styles
