Learning outcomes |
The general learning objectives are as follows:
- Understand the fundamentals of programming to solve computational problems using computers.
- Understand how to abstract a concrete problem for its proper specification / modeling and implementation in the form of a computer program
- Introduce the basic concepts of imperative programming.
- Develop programming skills using the C language.
- Realize and know how to properly integrate a programmatic solution with the architectural contingencies of a computer (e.g., computer arithmetic, dynamic memory resource management).
