SYLLABUS IN COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 1

I. Course Code : CP24

II. Course Title : Computer Programming 1

III. Course Description : Basic programming-in-the-small abilities and concepts including procedural programming (methods, parameters, return values), basic control structures (sequence, if/else, for loop, while loop), file processing, arrays and an introduction to defining objects.

IV. Course Objectives : Students will master basic procedural programming constructs. They will learn to write and debug small programs (50-100 lines) using a full range of procedural techniques using a variety of input sources (console, file) and a variety of output destinations (console, file, graphical). Students will learn the design principles that are relevant to this style of “programming in the small” including decomposition, information hiding, elimination o redundancy, detailed documentation, and use of parameters and return values to create flexible components. Students will be exposed to the major design issues of object oriented programming including inheritance.
