Programming

None.

The teaching activity takes place in the classroom or via videoconference, with exposure to concepts, techniques and methods, with a strong focus on solving practical problems. Software will be used to support the resolution of problems.

The Curricular Unit of Programming is defined as structural in the Degree in Data science for Management since it allows the acquisition of fundamental and determining knowledge in the understanding of later curricular units. Thus, this Curricular Unit is intended to achieve the following objectives:

• Know and understand the architecture and operation of a computing environment (software / hardware).
• Design simple algorithms by applying appropriate programming methodologies.
• Know and understand the Python language.
• Understand and adapt existing programs and develop new programs coded in Python language.
• In terms of competences, it is expected that the student is able to:

Use the Python language to develop simple programs, in console environment.

• Develop programs that include selection control structures and repetitive structures.
• Use functions in programs.
• Distinguish different ways of passing parameters to functions.
• Perform basic operations with vectors, matrices and text.
• Handle errors using exceptions.
