Course detail
Computers and Programming 2
FEKT-BPC-PC2MAcad. year: 2019/2020
The course is focussed on the basic knowledge of ANSI/ISO C programming. Students learn to design algorithms solving assigned tasks, using appropriate data types or designing custom data structures together with implementation of the solution in ANSI/ISO C language. Algorithms for numerical and text data are presented, students are introduced with the standard libraries, working with files, pointers, dynamic memory allocation and creation of own custom libraries.
Supervisor
Learning outcomes of the course unit
The student is able to:
- explain the function of the C language statements,
- describe the properties of the basic data types,
- propose a structure for the representation of complex data,
- use functions included in the standard libraries,
- propose an algorithm working with multi-dimensional and one-dimensional array,
- propose an algorithm to sort a list of values,
- create a library of functions,
- create an interactive application.
