COMP10110 Computer Programming I

Academic Year 2024/2025

In this module students will learn how to program a computer using a simple programming language (e.g. C). Students will learn how to make many simple things happen and how to solve simple problems by programming. After taking the course the students should be able to: understand the basic ideas of programming and be familiar with variables, arrays, strings, conditionals, loops, terminal I/O, functions, etc.; confidently write computer programs in the language they have learned during the course; run programs, to produce results.
