Learning objectives
The main aim of the course is to provide students with the fundamental techniques of imperative programming through the use of the imperative subset of the C ++ programming language. The course also aims at providing students with the ability to apply analytical techniques to solve simple practical problems (such as, for instance, problems of calculus and sorting) and to translate these solutions into executable programs. Finally, the course develops analytical and abstraction skills and it aims at improving the ability related to the decomposition of problems into sub-problems.
Prerequisites
Basic notions on functions, set theory, and logics.
Course unit content
Computer architecture and information representation are introduced in the first part of the course. Then, the fundamental of imperative programming are presented, using C++ as reference programming language. In particular, the concepts of variable, data type, algorithm, and expression are examined. Finally, functions and recursive functions are introduced.
