Fundamentals of Programming 1200-2RPPROW1M
During this course students will learn about the algorithm design and implementation, in particular:
Algorithms
- algorithm design
- representing algorithms as flow-charts
- complexity analysis
- divide and conquer algorithms
- recursion
Core elements of programs
- different programming languages – semantics and comparison
- compilators
- integrated development environments and dedicated text editors
- correctness analysis
Python language specific issues:
- variables and data types
- operators and arithmetic expressions
- conditional statements and loops
- functions
- input/output operations
- complex data structures
- objects and methods
- moduls and libraries
- data visualization
