Description
This module introduces students to the C and C++ programming languages and the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. Students develop practical programming skills through a set of software design and implementation exercises. Students will also develop and demonstrate an understanding of how object-oriented concepts enable appropriate code design and structure to extend existing C/C++ code, enabling them to integrate their own code with large-scale software systems and gain a fundamental understanding of software system design principles.

Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories;
RC1: A resit is available for both* components of the module.
RC2: No resit is available for a 100% coursework module.
RC3: No resit is available for the coursework component where there is a coursework and summative examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a coursework/summative examination split; where the module is 100% coursework, there will also be a resit of the assessment
