Course specific prerequisites
Course LEU432 Introduction to computer engineering or equivalent.Aim
The aim of the course is to give students elementary skills in program development and to give an introduction to the C programming language.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Analyze and propose the structure of a software-based solution, for a task of limited complexity described by text.
- Implement a well structured solution of the task in the C language.
- Describe and use the following concepts when implementing:
- Use a general development environment (IDE).
- Use a functional abstraction and fundamental data abstraction.
Content
An introduction to software development is given. In the course you learn how to implement a solution, in the form of a computer program in C language, to a defined problem. The course covers; identifiers, variables, types, expressions, operators, statements, functions and program structure, characters and strings, pointers and arrays, dynamic memory management, lists, file management and basic usage of the standard library. The course includes also an introduction to a development environment, as well as basics of code testing and documentation.
Organisation
The course consists of lectures and computer exercises equivalent of 6 credits points and a mandatory assignment of 1.5 credit points.Literature
