How to write C++ program (Seventh Edition) By Deitel deitel |
| Reference Material |
Lecture notes for introduction to programming from textbooks. . |
| Course Goals |
The Goals the course is: • To get familiar with Programming language of computer science by studying different theoretical computational models. • To understand different formal language and their relationships • To learn the problem-solving skills. • How theory of automata is helpful to design of new programming techniques, etc. • How can we formally define the languages so that they are unambiguous? |
| Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs): |
| At the end of the course the students will be able to: | Domain | BT Level* |
|---|
| Describe the fundamental programming constructs and articulate how they are used to develop a program with a desired runtime execution flow |
c |
1 |
| Develop programs to implement computer-based solutions of well-specified problems |
A |
2 |
| Distinguish the advantages and limitations resulting from the use of different language constructs that embody similar programming concepts |
BT |
3 |
| Articulate whether computer programs fit in the provision of computer-based solutions to real-world problems |

| Laboratory Projects/Experiments Done in the Course |
Students will practice all the programing codes on Dev C++. Tool taught during the lab and practice here also. |
| Programming Assignments Done in the Course |
Yes, some few programs practice during lab and at the end of the lab give some tasks to perform at it own end related to all the topics covered above |
