Course Introduction
This course is about learning and implementing the fundamentals of Computer Programming. The aim of
this course is to understand the basics of computer programming in C++ language. Students will be able to
apply the basic programming structures using C++ language. The course will cover: fundamentals of
computer programming, arrays and collections, file I/O, operators and functions, pointers and
implementation of classes and structures.

Course Contents
Modular Programming and Data Management:
Repetition (While, For and Do – while looping structures), Functions (call, return and stack), Array (2D,
3D), Pointers (and call by reference), Function, Memory Allocation, Filing, Structures and Classes.
