Introduction to Programming Systems

FIT-IZPAcad. year: 2023/2024

Basic programming construction of high programming language: variables, types, expressions, control structures, procedures and functions, parameter passing, input/output, exceptional state processing. Basic data structures: simple data types, structured data types: array, record, file, strings. Dynamic data structures, the concept of pointers. Strategy for selecting an appropriate data structure. Recursion, the concept of recursion. Global and local variables. Simple recursive functions (procedures). Modular Design and abstraction. Debugging, testing and documentation of the program. Concepts will be illustrated by using appropriate programming language. (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Programming languages - C).

  • Evaluated projects - 24 points.
  • Computer practices - 10 points.
  • Mid-term written examination - 12 points.
  • Final written examination - 54 points.

 

 

  • Realisation and delivery of 2 home assignments.
  • Demonstration of home assignment during computer practises.
  • 10 computer practices.
  • Delivered and controlled the source code documentation of one project.
  • Mid-term written test.
  • Final written examination. The minimal number of points which can be obtained from the final exam is 23. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student.

Aims

Familiarize yourself with data organization when solving problems. Actively master basic algorithms and be able to apply them in practical problems. Familiarize yourself with the principles of program testing. Learn how to use program debugging tools. Learn to document, defend and present achieved results.


The student will learn how to write programs in high programming languages. The student will also acquire basic English terminology of programming,  The student will be acquainted with testing principles of programs. The student will learn how to document, to present, and to defend the reached results. The student will learn the computer-aided solving of simple problems by elaborating projects. The student will learn to create the program documentation and defend the results of project solving.
