To provide the basics of the “computer culture”, through the study of methodological and conceptual tools for facing in a flexible, effective and lasting way the evolution of technology and the wide world of applications. Specific objectives include:
- introducing computers as automatic systems for the solution of problems
- introducing basic concepts about programming electronic computers; syntactical rules, programming methodologies, both from a formal and from a pragmatic perspective; quality measures related to efficiency and correctness
- introducing programming techniques, like iteration and recursion;
- introducing data structures and algorithms for foundational problems like searching and sorting.
At the end of the course students will be able to deal with a programming problem in all its aspects, namely:
- understand and analyze the problem
- design iterative or recursive algorithms to solve problems using the most suitable data structures
- encode the algorithms in C
- carry out correctness tests
- critically judge the code in terms of readability and efficiency.
