Prerequisites
!( FI:IB001 Intro to Prog. using C )
The course Introduction to Programming I requires basic knowledge of PC computer handling (on a user level).
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The main aim of the course Introduction to Programming I is to introduce students to basic principles of computer problem-solving. This course is based on the use of the Pascal programming language.
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
design an algorithm to solve a given problem;
code an algorithm in the Pascal programming language;
debug a created program.
Syllabus
  • Basic concepts, units of information.
  • Design of algorithms - phases of task processing on a computer. Algorithm - algorithm properties, possibilities of algorithm notation, design of simple algorithms.
  • Programming languages - compiler. Pascal programming language. Basic lexical units of Pascal. Program structure in Pascal.
  • Pascal commands - input and output commands, assignment, composed command, conditional command, loop commands.
  • Data types - ordinal types, type Boolean, integer, char, interval, real, enumerated types.
  • Case and for commands.
  • Structured data types - array, string, set.
  • Searching and sorting algorithms - linear and binary searching, sorting methods of SelectSort, BubbleSort and InsertSort.
  • Subprograms (procedures and functions). Formal and actual parameters, calling by value and by reference, global and local objects.

Teaching methods
Theoretical lectures with examples - 2 hours per week (the attendance is optional), class exercises - 2 hours per week (class exercises take place in a computer classroom, the attendance is mandatory, and the students also must successfully pass intrasemestral tests and make homeworks).
Assessment methods
Colloquium takes place in computer classroom and students code a program solving a given problem. Afterwards, the solution of the given problem is discussed.
Language of instruction
Czech
