Course detail

C and C++ Programming Languages

FSI-VCP-KAcad. year: 2011/2012

The C language is one of the most frequently used programming languages. It is a structured, modular, compiled, general-purpose language.
In the second part the course introduces the methods of object oriented programming (OOP) using the C++ programming language. C++ offers one of the best implementations of OOP from all existing programming languages. C++ is a commonly used programming language applicable to developing large programs solving various types of problems. It is one of the most favourite languages preferred by professional programmers.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will obtain the basic skills and experiences of program writing and debugging of average stage of difficulty. Students gain insight into principles and methods of object-oriented programming using C++ language.

Prerequisites

The basic knowledge of algorithmisation principles and experience with a procedural programming language (e.g. Pascal) are expected.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit award requirements are both active participation in seminars and individual elaboration of two software projects (the first project in the C language and the second one in the C++ language). Students select their projects assignments, which are approved by the teacher. The examination is oral and consists of discussion on the created projects with possible complementary questions. The evaluation is fully in competence of a tutor according to the valid directives of BUT.

Aims

Students will be able to prepare a programms of an average level of difficulty in the C and C++ languages. Students gain insight into principles and methods of object-oriented programming using C++ language.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance at lectures is recommended; the attendance at seminars is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation for missed seminars is fully in the competence of the tutor.
