Fundamentals of Programming 1 Course code: I63043 | 8 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 1
Semester: 2
Requirements:
Goal: Introducing students to the basic principles of programming languages (including structured programming, selection statements, loops, arrays, and functions) and a specific application in C programming language.
Outcome: The student who successfully masters the requirements of the course will be able to: (1) design and program in C language, (2) develop good programming skills, (3) use modern C compiler and debugger and environment (Microsoft Visual Studio).
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Algorithms and flow diagrams
  2. Programming languages
  3. Numerical systems
  4. Structure of C program
  5. C character set
  6. Preprocessor in C
  7. Functions scanf() and printf()
  8. Operations and operators
  9. Expressions
  10. Branching instructions
  11. Loops
  12. Functions
  13. The emphasis in theoretical instruction is on loops and branches in a program, because without that any other instruction in terms of programming does not make sense. After that, the course covers all the basic elements of C language and insists on writing programs.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Students use a modern development environment (Microsoft Visual Studio) to write and debug programs.
