DESCRIPTION

Introduces the discipline of computer science using C++ and utilizing programming and practical hands-on problem solving.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Choose appropriate conditional and iteration constructs for a given programming task.

2. Apply the techniques of structured (functional) decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces.

3. Identify the necessary properties of good algorithms.

4. Create algorithms for solving simple problems.

5. Identify at least one distinguishing characteristic for each of the programming paradigms covered in this unit.

6. Explain the value of declaration models, especially with respect to programming-in-the-large.

7. Identify and describe the properties of a variable such as its associated address, value, scope, persistence, and size.

8. Describe strategies that are useful in debugging.
