Introduction to programming - KAIE5M11

Goal(s)

This course introduces the algorithmic programming bases using Python and the imperative programming in C language.
It allows students to acquire the methodology of developing algorithms for simple problems.

At the end of the course, student will be able to propose efficient algorithms and programs in Python3 and C language:

• Develop and write simple algorithms
• Identify data types and characterize them
• Identify algorithmic processes and their organization
• Apply the principles of modular programming : processing decomposition into procedure and functions calls
• Write and test algorithms in Python3 and C programming languages
• Work on a computer station under a Linux operating system
