About This Course

This course is developed to learn programming fundamentals and writing algorithms in C++ programming language. During this course, you will improve your programming skills, writing simple algorithms using C++ technologies.

Course goal(s)

Giving the student an initial base in the C++ development, with an emphasis on learning basic programming principles, ranging from I/O operations, variable management, using flow control capabilities and implementation.

Course objectives:

• To demonstrate knowledge of C++ syntax
• To understand basic programming principles
• To solve programming problems using C++;
• To apply elementary techniques involving arithmetic operators, mathematical and logic expressions in C++ programming
• To develop C++ programs that use sequential files for input and output.

Skills and competences:

• The instructor will ensure that class time is worth your while for attendance, assuming the students have done the readings and homework.
• The instructor will also refrain from electronic communication to others during class time.
• The instructor will not leave the classroom for reasons other than emergency or illness.
• The instructor will strive to return exams, assignments, and projects in a timely fashion.
• The instructor will strive to enforce the course and college integrity policies fairly with integrity.
