Course Introduction:

This course aims to Develop a greater understanding of the issues involved in programming language design and implementation. Develop an in-depth understanding of functional, logic, and object-oriented programming paradigms. Understand design/implementation issues involved with variable allocation and binding, control flow, types, subroutines, parameter passing. Introduction to the use of the C/C++ programming language as an aid to solving mathematical and scientific problems. Students will design, write, and implement programs.

Course Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have reliably demonstrated the ability to:

• Solve basic programming problems using a variety of skills and strategies.
• Use pseudo-code and visual modeling to prepare clear and accurate program documentation and models.
• Examine working programs to identify their structures .
• Apply appropriate techniques to create entry-level programs from models.
