Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit aims to introduce, develop, and consolidate the fundamental concepts of procedural programming for the student, such as: data, processing and information; the representation and manipulation of information on a computer; simple and compound data types; homogeneous linear data types and structures such as strings, lists, vectors, and matrices; heterogeneous data structures; file manipulation; conditional and iterative (repetitive statements; modularity in programming. At the end, there will also be an introduction to object-oriented programming.
More than learning the syntax of any programming language, the aim is for the student to learn and develop the reasoning underlying programming, at a more abstract and algorithmic level. The main language of study will be Python, but examples will also be demonstrated in different languages. At the end of the UC, the student should be able to express algorithms to solve computer problems.
