Outcomes:

After completing this class, students should be able to:

• Identify and use the different data types in this programming language to manipulate data.
• Use mathematical operators, comparison operators, and logical operators to solve business problems.
• Plan and design a program using structured development techniques such as algorithms or pseudocode.
• Use decision structures to decide which actions to perform in a program (if/else, switch).
• Use repetition structures to repeat a group of statements (do, while).
• Plan, design, create and use functions in breaking down tasks to solve a problem.
• Compare passing values by reference or by value between functions.
• Write valid programming statements to declare an array, initialize an array, refer to individual elements of an array, and pass arrays to functions.
• Write valid programming statements to declare a pointer, initialize a pointer, and pass pointers as arguments to functions.
• Use and explain the relation between pointer variables and the values they point to.
• Use and manipulate an array of characters, e.g. string manipulations.
• Define the general scope of work to meet project requirements or solve the problem.
• Use the debugging tools available with the compiler to correct syntax and logic errors.
