This course offers an introduction to structured programming and algorithms using an object-oriented language. Topics covered include input/output, flow of control, functions, and a foundational overview of software engineering. Programming assignments are an integral part of the course.
Rationale
The course aims to equip students with fundamental programming skills using the C++ language. It serves as a stepping stone for learning more advanced aspects of C++ and other programming languages. The course emphasizes problem-solving techniques and design methodologies alongside language-specific skills.
Course Assignments
- Textbook Readings and Lecture Presentations: Essential for understanding course material.
Course Requirements
-
Discussions: Students are required to participate in discussions, responding to prompts with at least 300-word threads and replying to at least two classmates with a minimum of 250 words. Citations in current APA format are required.
-
Programming Assignments: Eight assignments using Visual Studio Express 2017 are designed to demonstrate mastery of the lessons learned. The complexity of assignments will increase progressively.
-
Quizzes: Four quizzes will be administered, covering material from the current and preceding weeks. Quizzes are open-book/open-notes and consist of up to 75 multiple-choice and true/false questions with a 2-hour time limit.

- Uniform Data Type: All array components are of the same type.
- Parameter Passing: Arrays are usually passed by reference.
- C-strings: Special case where aggregate operations are allowed.
- Initialization:
int alpha[25];➡️ Array of 25 int components. - Loop Sum: Loops can be used to sum array elements, but be cautious of index bounds.
- Member Access: Use dot operator (.) to access struct members.
- Initialization:
rectangleData bigRect; bigRect.length = 10; - Aggregate Operations: Assignment is allowed; I/O operations are not.
- Function Return: Can return a struct.
- Nested Structs: Structs can contain other structs, e.g.,
applianceList[25]; - Loop Initialization:
for(int j = 0; j < 25; j++) applianceList.cost[j] = 0;
- Return Types: Functions can return structs.
- Parameter Types: Structs and arrays can be passed as parameters.
- Member Access: Use the dot operator for struct member access.
- Aggregate Operations: Allowed for assignment in structs, not for I/O.
- Value Updates: Be cautious; e.g.,
list[12] = list[5] + list[7];may not update as expected.
