Course information
This is an introductory programming course that teaches basic concepts in imperative and object-oriented programming and corresponding data structures for students with some previous programming experience. Students will learn to use an industrial-strength object-oriented programming language and form basic mental models of how computer programs execute and interact with their environment. The course focuses on key aspects of solving programming problems: reasoning about a problem description to design appropriate data representations and function/method descriptions, to find examples, to write, test, debug, and otherwise evaluate the relevant code, and to present and defend their approach.Students will learn to effectively use a large standard library and key standard data structures, including lists, trees, hash tables, and graphs. The course also introduces the basics of reasoning about the time and space complexity of algorithms, in particular as related to the above data structures.
Requisite and Incompatibility
You are not able to enrol in this course if you are enrolled in the Master of Computing (Advanced). Incompatible with COMP1110 OR COMP1140 OR COMP7710.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
Internalize computational thinking
Apply fundamental programming concepts, using an object-oriented programming language, to solve practical programming problems
Implement, debug, and evaluate algorithms for solving substantial problems; implement an abstract data type
Apply basic algorithmic analysis to simple algorithms; use appropriate algorithmic approaches to solve problems
Design, implement, and test data structures and code
Present, explain, evaluate, and defend choices in design and implementations of programs and algorithms
Independently write programs that address given programming problems
Understand their ethical responsibilities as a programmer with respect to Academic integrity, the use of Artificial Intelligence and authorship of code
