Description This is a continuing course on computer programming. Students will consolidate their knowledge of fundamental data structures and algorithms: how and when to use them in computational problem solving. Students will also learn to use the technique of recursion. They will also be introduced to the concepts of object-oriented programming (classes, objects, methods and attributes, etc.), and will learn how to design and write object-oriented programs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of fundamental algorithms and data structures 2. Solve computational problems using the technique of recursion 3. Implement fundamental algorithms and data structures in a computer programming language 4. Design algorithms requiring the use of fundamental algorithms and data structures 5. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming 6. Solve computational problems using object-oriented programming techniques | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
