- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to teach students the basics of programming and algorithmic thinking without previous knowledge of this field. Course covers only the most elementary principles of programming, which they can further devlop in other courses. Examples will be demonstratedin programming language Python. The subject is especially recommended for first year students of Czech language with specialization on computational linguistics, but it is suitable for all students who want to gain basic knowledge of programming or who have problems with algorithm design and they need to better understand the basic principles.
- Learning outcomes
- After finishing this course, student will be able to: - understand basic terminology and principles of programming, - understand basic constructions of imperative programming, - understand basic principles of procedural and object programming paradigms, - understand basic algorithms, - create simple scripts in Python, - use acquired knowledge and skills in further study and projects.
- Syllabus
- Course is taught individually based on students needs with focus on practical use and ability to create simple scripts. Students who absolve this course should be ware of following concepts:
- 1. Basic principles of programming (simple expressions and statements, scope, naming, variables, …).
- 2. Simple data types and collections.
- 3. Condition and evaluating logical expression.
- 4. Loops, their principle, design and how computer understands them.
- 5. What is function/procedure, when and how to use it?
- 6. Recursion (see Recursion).
- 7. Problems of analysis and design in procedural paradigm.
- 8. How to debug application in procedural paradigm?
- 9. Classes and objects, basic principles of object oriented programming.
- 10. Problems of analysis and design object oriented paradigm.
- 11. How to debug application in object oriented paradigm?
