IT1060 – Introduction to Computer Programming

This subject introduces principles of procedural and object-oriented programming covering various concepts such as variable, data types, control structures, loops and arrays. Organisation of a computer program is explored to write programs to solve a problem from its specifications and requirements. Various operations on strings, searching and manipulation methods of arrays are also covered whilst writing programs. Simple programs with methods and functions are explored to cover scope of variables and methods. Procedural programming and object-oriented programming comparison and concepts principle of object-oriented programming are discussed. Debugging and simple testing methods are explored and implemented on simple procedures, methods, and programs.
