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 and trees.

Requirements:

None.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Algorithms, Programs and Basic support of development.

2. Variables, Input and Output in C language.

3. Floating point arithmetic. Expressions in C language.

4. Flow control statements in C language.

5. Functions in C language.

6. Arrays and strings in C language.

7. Structures and Pointers in C language.

8. Pointers and dynamic memory allocation in C language.

9. Complexity, Searching and Quadratic sorting.

10. Linked structures and Trees.

11. Recursion, MergeSort, QuickSort introduction.

12. Working with files, Modular programming in C language.

13. Abstract data types (boolean, complex numbers, queue, stack).

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Numeral systems, conversions. Bit, byte, word, double word. Development environments.

2. Integer types, variables, assignments, I/O. Displaying integers, two's complement code.

3. Real data types. Displaying floating-point numbers. Expressions.

4. Conditional statements.

5. Cycles, processing sequences.

6. Functions.

7. Arrays and strings.

8. Pointers and dynamic variables.

9. Structures.

10. Complexity of algorithms, examples of algorithms with various complexities.

11. Recursive functions.

12. Linked lists.

13. Reserved.
