Algoritmos e Programação

n. a.

In the theoretical lectures is made a presentation of theoretical concepts and their apllication,  well as the resolution of complementary exercises.

Laboratory classes with problem solving, which include discussion, analysis and development of the respective algorithm and its implementation in C language. All phases are monitored by the teacher.

The aim is encourage students to solve problems through the development of the respective algorithms.
It is intended to teach students how to develop a program in a structured way.

Provide students with the basics of the C language, which allow them the possibility to develop small programs.

Algorithmic and modeling Issues

Main programming paradigms

Introduction to C language

Structure of a C program

-Declaration of variables and constants

-Reserved words

-Identifiers – rules and conventions

-Predefined data types

-Ranges of variation of variables

-Operations and defined functions

– Modifiers type

– Expressions

-Interaction with the user

-Control Structures

  –Sequence. 

  –Selection: if statement, else clause, if statement chaining, switch statement

  –Repeat: while statement, do-while statement, for statement, Chain of repeat statements, break and continue statements

 –Defining functions: header and body

 –Function Declaration

 — Side effects

 –Communication between functions: return, arguments and parameters, Passing parameters of pre-defined data types

– Vectors

   –Declaration and Initialization

  –Multi-Dimensional Vectors

  –Manipulation of Vectors,

–Strings

 — Declaration and Initialization

 — Reading and writing Strings

 –String Manipulation

 –Defined Functions for Strings

 –Conversion between Numeric Types and Strings

Assessment:

- Written final exam to 15 values, with the minimum of 6 values (in 15 values).
- 2 individual performance tests for a total of 5 values. The sudent must have a minimum of 2 values (in 5 values).  
 

Students with marks above 17 must submit to an oral defence to maintain their marks. If the defence not succeeds, the mark will be capped at 17.

If the professor decides it is necessary, an oral test will confirm the final mark.

Conditions for Access to the Exam, valid for all exam calls:

- No more than two absences in laboratory classes.
- Obtain a minimum of 2 values in the average of the two tests.

- Valid for all examination calls.

The assessment of students who are granted special status will be conducted in accordance with applicable legislation.
