Objectives and competences
The goal of the course is to widen the programming skills by learning the most basic and advanced programming techniques.
General competences:
- Developing skills in critical, analytical and synthetic thinking
- The ability to understand and solve professional challenges in computer and information science
- The ability to apply acquired knowledge in independent work for solving technical and scientific problems in computer and information science; the ability to upgrade acquired knowledge
Subject-specific competences:
- Basic skills in computer and information science, which includes basic theoretical skills, practical knowledge and skills essential for the field of computer and information science
- Basic skills in computer and information science, allowing the continuation of studies in the second study cycle
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, home works, seminar works during tutorials. The emphasis is on continuous study and homeworks.
Intended learning outcomes
After the completion of the course a student will be able to:
- solve mediumlevel programming exercises;
- write programs in C programming language;
- understand lowlevel programming techniques;
- use recursion to solve programming problems;
- use pointers to write efficient programs;
- manage dynamic memory allocation and deallocation;
- use recursive data structures;
- use system calls in the C programming language;
- write C programs consisting of multiple compilation units.
