to give students an appreciation of the way problems can be solved using a programming language It provides an intuitive introduction to the concept of programming and covers basic programming constructs including comments, variables, assignment statements, control structures (selection, repetition), expressions, modularisation, input and output. This module provides a general introduction to computer programming focusing on the concepts of problem solving, basic programming constructs, and program design. It introduces how to design, write and test simple programs. |
| LO categories: |
Problem Solving (also things like computational thinking) Generating clear documentation Control Structures & logic (if/else etc) Repitition & loops (for/while etc) Variables, assignment, arithmetic expressions, declarations, data types File handling & I/O Testing & Debugging code |
