Course objectives
The student must understand the concept of algorithm and computer as a executor (related to the subject "Algorithms and Data Structures"). Present some ways of writing algorithms: formal and informal. Pseudo-code. To enable a student to develop a simple algorithm and test it in a logical sense.
Through the C# programming language, introduce the student into basic concepts: data types and declarations, program flow control commands (loops and bending commands), algorithm written in the pseudo code to be encoded and tested on a computer. Compare elementary C# language elements with the language C.
Introduce a student with functions, recursive call functions, data structures. Introduce the student to basic file management functions.
Course outcomes
- Become familiar with the MS Visual Studio Development Tool: Create a project / solution, add elements to the project, and add a reference project; translation; debugging.
- Classify types of projects that can be created using MS Visual Studio and compare them to different Windows applications on the computer (form-based, console applications, Windows services, web applications)
- Identify the problem from the real world and formulate an algorithm for solving it.
- Test algorithm in logical sense.
- Using the basic elements of C# programming language to develop an application that solves a simple problem.
