Course content
This course is the first in a two-part series. The goal of the course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of procedural programming, providing them with a foundation for further programming practice. Instruction is conducted independently of any specific development environment or compiler. Programming assignments are selected in relation to other courses within the field, ensuring that students can practically apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in other subjects. No prior knowledge of any programming language is assumed, only basic algorithmic problem-solving skills. Course Syllabus: - Structure of source code. - Data types, variables, and operators. - Program flow control: branching and iteration. - Functions. - Arrays. - User-defined data types. - Program debugging.
