Course The objective of course is to introduce a disciplined approach to Problem solving methods and algorithm
Description development. The aim is to teach the syntax and vocabulary of a modern programming language like C++.
The significant philosophies and logical programming, including models for I/O, processing, and all related
terminology will be taught. Simple programs will be constructed, using a number of different logical,
calculation and algorithm.
Course The objective of this course is to enable students to understand.
