Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this course the student will be able to program in C++ with emphasis on a structured, top-down approach to problem solving. Students gain knowledge of the mechanics of the language, style and debugging. The entire life cycle of a program is discussed, including conception, design, writing, debugging, documentation and maintenance, so students will understand how to solve problems in C++, and be able to demonstrate the application of software engineering principles in designing, coding, and testing of medium size programs within a Unix environment. |
