Course contents

Programming in a basic and important programming language such as C and a modern programming language such as Python. Data structures and classes. Problem-solving through division into sub-problems.

Program structuring. Several smaller programming assignments as well as one larger, individual programming assignment with strong emphasis on structuring and specification of included modules.

C-programming, types, compilation and make files.

Intended learning outcomes

Having passed the course, the student should be able to:
• design programs without code repetitions
• divide a larger problem in manageable parts
• divide a program
• apply control structures
• design and present user friendly output
• create flexible applications
• choose appropriate names of identifiers
• design interactive programs
• use and design composite data types (classes)
• transfer data between file and program,
• review others' programs, in order to be able to
• use programming to solve problems,
• apply the problem solving methodology also within other fields than programming,
• discuss software development with experts
• assess commercial programs
• independently be able to solve problems by designing programs of up to 500 lines in a modern programming language.

Literature

Required reading will be posted on the course’s web page no later than 4 weeks prior to the start of the course.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

• LAB1 - Laboratory Assignments, 1,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• LAB2 - Laboratory Assignments, 1,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• LAB3 - Laboratory Assignments, 3,0 hp, betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• LAB4 - Laboratory Assignments, 1,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

In agreement with KTH´s coordinator for disabilities, it is the examiner who decides to adapt an examination for students in possess of a valid medical certificate. The examiner may permit other examination forms at the re-examination of few students.

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

No information inserted

Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

An approved grade can be raised via renewed examination within a year from the start of the course offering. The end of this period normally coincides with the start of next year's corresponding course offering.

Examiner

Marcus Dicander

Ethical approach

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
