- Prerequisites
- Basic orientation in logic and formal languages.
- 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
- Biomedical bioinformatics (programme PřF, B-MBB)
- Epidemiology and modeling (programme PřF, B-MBB)
- Mathematical Biology (programme PřF, B-EXB)
- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to provide students with basic concepts of programming and algorithmization using diagrams and examples in the chosen programming language (Java, Python).
- Learning outcomes
- After completion of the course, student will be able:
- to define basic data types and more complex data structures;
- to define appropriate data type to store a specific value;
- to design an algorithm to solve the assigned task and to document it using flow diagrams;
- to decompose a more complex algorithm into subprograms;
- to code the algorithm in a selected programming language and debug the program. - Syllabus
- 1. Introduction, history, definition of basic terms - algorithm, program, complexity.
- 2. Flow diagrams: definition, sequences, branching, cycles.
- 3. Addition, volume calculation, triangle, minimum search, quadratic equation, simple calculator.
- 4. Mean grade, prime numbers, factorial, sum of numerical series.
- 5. Cycles and examples, the number of characters in a file.
- 6. Subprograms: definition, parameters, return value, algorithm decomposition, basic sorting algorithms: selection sort, bubble sort.
- 7. Data types: ordinal, irregular, arrays, examples: reverse listing.
- 8. Recursion: definition, Fibonacci series - recursive vs. non-recursive solution, binary search - recursive vs. iterative.
