A program is an algorithm that can be directly executed by a computer. Learning to program therefore encompasses two complementary skills: (1) constructing algorithms; (2) coding an algorithm as a program. This course focuses on both
aspects. We will use the programming language Python. In particular, this course has the following goals:
- The student can write simple imperative programs in Python. In particular, he/she can utilize primitive types, strings, lists, iteration, conditions, procedures and functions.
- The student understands the importance of precise syntax and semantics.
- The student is able to reason about programs and can debug programs.
- The student is familiar with the notion of an algorithm, can devise algorithms (for simple problems), and can reason over algorithms.
- The student is familiar with the principles of computational thinking and can apply these.
- The student is familiar with regular expression.
- The student is familiar with recursion
- The student is familiar with handling Files and exceptions
- The student is familiar with common datascience packages
