>< Title : Programming Concepts
>< Type/Status : Core Course
>< Teaching and learning objectives:
The aim of this course is to provide the student with a working knowledge of a high level programming language and an opportunity to understand structured and object-oriented programming concept and their applications.
On completion of the course, a student should be able to appreciate the fundamental software components of computer systems; to understand the principles of program design and demonstrate their practical application; to understand enough of the syntax and semantics of a general purpose programming language such as C++ to allow the implementation of the designed programs.
>< Course Content:

Program Execution Cycle, Language Translation – Compilers & Interpreters, Different approaches of problems solving, Derivation of Algorithms, Elementary Data Types, Variables, Constants, Type Casting, Control Structures for Selection and Repetition, Functions,

Recursion, Pre-Define Modules, Structured Data Types – Arrays & Structures, Abstract Data Types, References, Pointers, Static Data Structures & Dynamic Data Structures, Algorithms and their efficiency issues. Classes, Objects and Instances, Member Variables and Member Functions, Access Specifies, Abstraction and Encapsulation, Constructors & Destructors, Friend Functions, Operator and Function Overloading, Inheritance, Virtual Functions and Polymorphism.

>< Methodology:
The course will be delivered in a combination of lectures, supervised hands on practical and group work.
>< Scheme of Evaluation:
End-of-semester examination and continuous assessment.
