Fundamentals Of Programming With Algorithms And Logic –
prg210
(3 credits)
This course provides students with a basic understanding of programming development practices. Concepts covered include the application of algorithms and logic to the design and development of computer programs to address the problem solving requirements associated with business information systems. This course will cover procedural programming concepts including data types, controls structures, functional decomposition, arrays, and files.
Describe the importance of using a structured modular approach to program development.
Analyze the development of problem solutions.
Define the process of algorithm development.
Describe the process and methods for problem recognition.
Programming Fundamentals
Identify how a computer processes and stores data.
Describe types of programming languages.
Programming Logic
Apply the concepts of functional decomposition to the development of programming logic.
Demonstrate the sequential and selection processing control structure.
Examine the iteration control structure.
Apply flowcharts to represent logic.
Structures, Verification, and Validation
Explain complex data structures.
Apply arrays to program logic and data manipulation.
Describe how requirements and desk review design are used to verify algorithms.
File Processing
Differentiate between sequential files and databases.
Compare and contrast procedural and object-oriented programming.
Demonstrate reading and writing sequential files in pseudocode.
