Introduction to Computing: A Design and Development Perspective
Programming and problem solving using Python. Emphasizes principles of software development, style, and testing. Topics include procedures and functions, iteration, recursion, arrays and vectors, strings, an operational model of procedure and function calls, algorithms, exceptions, object-oriented programming. Weekly labs provide guided practice on the computer, with staff present to help.
Topics
- Be fluent in the use of procedural statements -assignments, conditional statements, loops, method calls- and arrays.
- Be able to design, code, and test small Python programs that meet requirements expressed in English. This includes a basic understanding of top-down design.
- Understand the concepts of object-oriented programming as used in Python: classes, subclasses, inheritance, and overriding.
- Have knowledge of basic searching and sorting algorithms. Have knowledge of the basics of vector computation.
