This course teaches the basics of computer programming in C++. In the first half, the syntax of C++ will be introduced. Students will learn the fundamental computer statements for mathematical and logical expressions, variable assignment, input/output, if-then-else control constructs, looping constructs, and various function calls. At the end of this stage, students should have been able to experience the joy of writing and executing a computer program. Then, in the second half, more advanced programming concepts will be followed, including Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Classes and Objects, data structure using Arrays, Strings, and Pointers, and finally fundamental Algorithms for Search and Sorting, and Recursive type of programming.
