Content (Syllabus outline)

The structure of a computer and the concept of an algorithm. Basic programming concepts: variables, arithmetic, basic data types. Structured programming: functions, conditional statement, recursion, loops.

Data types: arrays, dictionaries, objects, files. Managing source code. Software development tools. Basics of computational complexity.

Readings

Priročniki in učbeniki za programske jezike, ki jih študenti spoznajo.
Manuals and textbooks for programming languages ​​that students learn.

Objectives and competences

Student learns the basic programming techniques.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of basic programming.
Application: Solving mathematical and other problems with a computer, in particular when a simple computer program is required for this task.
Reflection: The ability of programming enables a higher lever of control over the computer and enables the student to solve the problems that cannot be solved using the standard applications.
Transferable skills: The skill of programming is required in other computer and numerical courses.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, homework, consultations

Assessment

homework, midterm exams, projects, written exam, oral exam

grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
