Syllabus and Course Information

Course Overview

The main objective of this course is to teach the students the basics of constructing algorithms and programming languages. The student at the end of this course are expected to learn the basic skills of algorithmic problem solving, the systematic approach to define the problem and creating number of solutions, and the basic programing skills which include syntax, commands, variables, selection statements, loops, functions, etc.
