Programming and Algorithmics 1

Lecturer:

Miroslav Balík (gar.)

Tutor:

Miroslav Balík (gar.), Radek Malinský, Ladislav Vagner

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science

Synopsis:

Students gain the ability to formulate algorithms for solving basic problems and write them in the C language. They understand data types (simple, structured, pointers), expressions, statements, functions, concept of recursion. They learn to analyse simple cases of algorithm complexity. They know fundamental algorithms for searching, sorting, and manipulating with linked lists.

Requirements:

None.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Algorithm, program, programming languages. Development environments. Variables, assignment statement, input and output for integer data types.

2. Data types for real numbers. Expressions. Control structures, branching, cycles.

3. Functions, input/output parameters. Decomposition of a problem into subproblems, recursion.

4. Arrays, strings. Pointers, dynamic variables.

5. Files. Complexity of algorithms, sorting and searching.

6. Structures, structured files. Linked lists.

7. Modular programming, other features of C.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Numeral systems, conversions. Bit, byte, word, double word. Development environments. Integer types, variables, assignments, I/O. Displaying integers, twos complement code. Real data types. Displaying floating-point numbers. Expressions. Conditional statements. Cycles, processing sequences. Functions. Recursive functions.

2. Arrays and strings. Pointers and dynamic variables. Files. Complexity of algorithms, examples of algorithms with various complexities. Structures, structured files. Linked lists. Reserved.

Study Objective:

The module provides fundamental algorithmics and procedural programming skills that are crucial for further studying.
