CMPS 204 - C Programming for Science and Technology

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

COMPUTER SCIENCE

Description:

An introduction to standard programming structures (sequence, decision, loops, functions), common programming tasks (input-output, control, sequencing, counting, summing, searching, sorting), and data storage techniques (linked lists, arrays, and files). Applications to engineering technology problems. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Convert problem statements or program specifications into useful, accurate and runable computer programs (2) Use the MS Visual C++ application to create, compile and run multi-file multi-module computer programs (3) Prepare console applications with user-friendly input and well-formatted output (4) Document and substructure their computer programs for maximum reuse (5) Make programs that can replicate any of the common technical calculator functions (6) Apply looping to build interactive menus, load or save bulk data, and solve iterative problems (7) Create programs capable of decision-making and interactive processing flow (8) Use vectors and matrices effectively within their programs (9) Write programs that can search or sort bulk data (10) Input, output, copy and store words (strings) (11) Continue to coursework or self-study of intermediate C++ (12) Run examples of and comment upon the benefit of the "Visual" interface in programming
