Prerequisite: Mathematics 170 with a
minimum grade of C.
Catalog Description:
This course is an introduction to problem solving and program
design using structured, top-down, algorithmic development
techniques, applied to the solution of numeric and non-numeric
problems. Software engineering topics such as analysis, design,
implementation, testing, documentation, and maintenance of software
are discussed. Laboratory work will be done using the C++ computer
language.
Course Objectives:
- Define simple software engineering terminology, such as
software life cycle, problem analysis, program design, testing and
top-down design. Utilize software engineering terminology properly
when describing program design.
- Utilize problem analysis and design techniques in developing
solutions to programming problems. In particular, break programming
problems down into chunks, leading to efficient use of top-down
design in order to create and implement modular solutions.
- Represent data utilizing simple numeric and character data
types in a program and use them with input-output processes of the
particular implementation of C++ being used.
- Design solutions requiring translation of mathematical and
algebraic steps into a C++ program, using appropriate mathematical
operators and math library functions of the C++ implementation in
use.
- Design programming solutions requiring decision-making, using
appropriate C++ selection statements, such as if-then, if-then-else
and switch.
- Design programming solutions requiring the use of repeated
processes, using appropriate C++ iteration statements, such as for,
while, and do-while loops.
- Design, implement and manipulate C++ structure data types in
order to store and manipulate data efficiently.
- Design programming solutions requiring the storage and
manipulation of large amounts of data (with random access ability
during execution cycle), using single and multi-dimensional arrays,
such as numerical, string, char, and structure types.
- Design, implement and manipulate string class data types as
objects in order to store string type data.
- Implement skills required for reading data from and writing
results to text files in C++.
