Module Description:
Data types, variables, assignment, general structure of a program; Input/Output; Arithmetic expression; Introduction to Classes and Objects; Relational operators; Boolean expression, logical operators; conditional Statements: If. Else, Switch; Loop: for, while, do .. while; Methods: Constructor, getter/setter, Method overloading; Array; Exception handling.
Module Aims:
· Construct error-free C++ programs.
· Divide a problem into its logical components.
· Understand the basic structured programming concepts.
· Design and code small to medium sized problems from the start using C/C++ constructs, such as input/output statements, if-then-else statements, while and for loops, functions
· Employ some of the available data structures in C++ such as built-in data types, arrays and pointers to solve programming problems.
· Use the required developments tools to write, compile, trace and debug C++ programs.
Learning Outcomes:
· Identify the basic components of a computer system.
· Design an algorithm to solve a given problem using the top-down design approach.
· Know the difference between call-by-value and call-by-reference parameters.
· Understand the notion of procedural abstraction.
· Understand and use the three basic programming structures: sequence, selection, repetition.
· Use arrays, strings and pointers to manipulate data.
