Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical classes include a professor’s exposition of topics and their applications, as well as active learning opportunities.
Throughout the semester, laboratory classes will have two formats:
– Problem-solving: discussion, analysis, and design of algorithms, followed by implementation in C;
– Project development: sessions based on Project-Based Learning (type: project exercise), in which the classwork contributes incrementally to the course project.
Learning Results
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1) Identify and classify the different types of programming languages;
2) Build solutions using algorithms, flowcharts and pseudo-code;
3) List the main characteristics of the C language;
4) Implement interaction with the user;
5) Illustrate and demonstrate in code the different types of data and control structures available in the C language;
6) Explain the role of functions and create programs that demonstrate their use, namely the process of passing parameters;
7) Create and use of vectors and strings;
8) List and use file reading and writing operations in application development;
9) Plan and build programs in C language;
10) Identify and analyse errors resulting from the construction of a program. Modify C programs to correct errors or adopt new specifications.
Program
1) Programming languages: introduction, characterisation and classification;
2) Introduction to algorithms: flowcharts and pseudocode;
3) Characteristics of the C programming language;
4) Data types; Declaration of variables and constants; Main operators; Expressions;
5) User Interaction;
6) Control structures: Sequence, Selection and Repetition;
7) Functions: local variables and passing parameters;
8) Vectors and strings: declaration, initialisation, manipulation. Multidimensional vectors;
9) Files: types of streams, operations, standard files.
