Computer Programming

(Theory)

 

 

The students will be able to –

CO20: Describe and compare machine language and a high level language; source code, object code and executable code.

 

CO21: Understand the concept of data abstraction and encapsulation and describe the function of the compiler in the language translation process.

 

CO22: Demonstrate an understanding of algorithms in the problem-solving process, Identify the necessary properties of good problem-solving techniques.

 

CO23:Create and analyze algorithms for solving simple problems.

 

CO24: Apply techniques of structured (functional) decomposition to decompose problem and a program solution into smaller pieces.

 

CO25: Design and implement code that includes the reuse of both existing code and calling functions in the C/C++ libraries.

 

CO26: Demonstrate an understanding of scope, lifetime and duration rules for variables and functions.

 

CO27: Learn how to overload functions and operators in C++.

 

CO28: The student will develop sufficient knowledge of programming with C/C++, so as to write down programs for different Physics related problems and run to same to obtain useful output.

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Tutorials, Reading assignments, Demonstration. Solving problems in tutorials.

 

 

Learning activities for the students:

Self-learning assignments, Effective questions, Simulation, Seminar presentation, performing given tasks, practicals, small animated games develop

Additional learning through MOOCs course on SWAYAM/NPTEL

 

Class test, Semester end examinations, Quiz, Solving problems , Assignments, Presentations
