The course aims to develop the students ability to construct correct and well structured programs in a modern programming language. The student shall be able to:

- understand programming development

- understand the software development process

- design and express computer based solutions to common algorithmic problems

- master the major features of a modern programming language

- develop program documentation

Introduction to program development and development environments. Variables and program states, choice, iteration, arithmetic and logic expressions, strings and text processing, data structures, parameterization and function abstraction. The file concept, standard libraries and error handling. References vs. values, dynamic data structures. Introduction to objects. Problem solving, program structure and documentation.

The course includes a number of individual assignments where the student develops programs and practice problem solving. The course gives the student the ability to design their own programs and understand how they work and evolve.

Instruction consists of lectures and laboratory work.

Written exam with differentiated grades and mandatory laboratory exercises. Students who have failed on five occasions will not be allowed further trials. Examination can be maximum three years after course registration.

Incomplete assignments can render in the entire laboratory course must be repeated.

The course D0042D is equal to D0009E.
