Aim of the subject

Introducing students to the ways of solving simple programming problems and creating computer algorithms using structured and procedural programming language.

Knowledge and skills

Algorithms and their computer-understandable form. C programming language syntax. Data types and structures, using data and cooperating with operating system.

Lectures content

Data storage in a computer. Variables, constants, operators. Arithmetical and logic commands. Commands for changing program sequence – selections and loops. Arrays, functions, procedures. Working with files. Pointers. Dynamical memory allocation. Compiler and linker.

Exercises content

Laboratory exercises:

Variables, constants, phrases and operators. Input/output. Controlling structures – if, switch. Iteration (for, while). Break, continue, goto. Functions. Recursions. Arrays. Pointers. Structures. Files. Bitwise operations.

Delivery of

Lectures

Laboratory exercises

Teaching material is delivered using presentations on LCD projector and blackboard for clarifying important parts of the lecture. Students are supposed to follow lectures and solve (partly prepared) examples on computers.

Practical work on computers equipped with necessary software (text editor, C compiler, Visual Studio IDE, Dev-cpp IDE).

Knowledge assessment

Laboratory exercises, written tests.

Final exam

Laboratory exercises, written and oral exam.
