Prerequisites

! IB001 INNOLEC prof. Serge Morand
The course Introduction to Programming I requires basic knowledge of PC computer handling (on a user level).

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Mathematical Biology (programme PřF, M-BI)
• Mathematics (programme PřF, B-MA)
• Mathematics (programme PřF, M-MA)

Course objectives

The main aim of the course Introduction to Programming I is to introduce students to basic principles of computer problem-solving. This course is based on the use of the Pascal programming language.
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
design an algorithm to solve a given problem;
code an algorithm in the Pascal programming language;
debug a created program

Syllabus

• Basic concepts, units of information.
• History of computers. Basic operational units of a computer and the principle of its operation.
• Design of algorithms - phases of task processing on a computer. Algorithm - algorithm properties, possibilities of algorithm notation, design of simple algorithms.
• Programming languages - compiler. Pascal programming language. Basic lexical units of Pascal. Program structure in Pascal.
• Pascal commands - input and output commands, assignment, composed command, conditional command, loop commands.
• Data types - ordinal types, type Boolean, integer, char, interval, real, enumerated types.
• Case and for commands.
• Structured data types - array, string, set.
• Searching and sorting algorithms - linear and binary searching, sorting methods of SelectSort, BubbleSort and InsertSort.
• Subprograms (procedures and functions). Formal and actual parameters, calling by value and by reference, global and local objects.

Teaching methods

Theoretical lectures with examples, practical lessons, homeworks.

Assessment methods

Lectures - 2 hours per week (the attendance is optional), class exercises - 2 hours per week (class exercises take place in a computer classroom and the attendance is mandatory, the students also must submit all required homeworks and successfully pass intrasemestral tests).
Colloquium takes place in computer classroom and students code a program solving a given problem. After it the solution of the given problem is discussed.

Language of instruction

Czech
