Or: Swedish upper secondary school courses Mathematics D (specifik entry 8) More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on final school grades or Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.Course Aim After the course, the student will be able to Demonstrate knowledge of proven experience in design and construction of imperative programs and capacity to plan and carry out advanced tasks in the form of implementation of imperative programs designed to solve specific technical problems Demonstrate the ability to model problems and to identify and formulate solutions in a modern imperative language Demonstrate the ability to critically analyze and evaluate technical solutions in the form of existing programs in imperative languages, as well as predict and evaluate sequences of events in these Contents Introduction to program development and development environments. Variables and program states, choice, iteration, recursion. Arithmetic and logic expressions, strings, text processing and memory management. Generalization, parameterization and function abstraction. Dynamic data structures, the file concept, standard libraries and error handling. References and pointers vs. values. Introduction to objects. Problem solving, program structure and documentation. Realization Instruction consists of lectures, seminars and laboratory work. Lab assignments are reported in writing or by demonstration, and may be associated with a deadline. Homework assignments that render credit marks on the subsequent written exam may also occur during the course. During the course, a guest lecture will be held by a company in order to demonstrate how software development is performed in the industry. ExaminationWritten exam as well as written or oral lab assignment reports. Passing the lab assignment part of the course requires a passed grade on all individual assignments. The examination consists of two parts: Written exam 4.5 HP (G U 3 4 5) Laboratory work 3 HP (U G#) Remarks The course can not be included in a degree together with the course D0014E ANSI-C programming, D0009E Introduction to programming, or the old courses SMD134 or SMD170. Transition termsThe course is equal to the course D0009E and SMD180ExaminerFredrik SandinLiterature.
