Introduction to Programming Systems

FIT-IZPAcad. year: 2022/2023

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).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

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.

Prerequisites

This course is placed in the winter term of the first year of the bachelor's study programme. Thus, we expect that students have the high school level knowledge of mathematics and using computers.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is realized in the form of lectures, exercises and project solutions. Lectures have the character of an explanation of basic principles, methodology of the discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Exercises and project solutions support in particular the practical mastery of the material presented in lectures or assigned for independent study with the active participation of students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

  • Evaluated home assignments with the defence - 24 points.
  • Computer practices - 10 points.
  • Mid-term written examination - 12 points.
  • Final written examination - 54 points.
