Aims

Efter kursen skall den studerande:

Kunna beskriva problemlösning med hjälp av

algoritmer

Kunna implementera (enkla) algoritmer i

programspråket Java

Behärska grunderna i god programkonstruktion och objektorienterade programmeringstekniker

The course consists of two parts.

The larger part (approximately 4 points) treats

programming as a method for problem solving.

Formulation of algorithms, choice of data types

and construction of programs in the chosen

programming language are central issues. In the

course, the programming language Java is used for

implementation of algorithms at which point object oriented programming is introduced. Documentation and

programming testing will be discussed, and an

orientation about programming style and program

quality will be given. Programming will

be discussed from scientific, technical and social

perspectives, as well as the role of programming

in complex systems.

An orientation in the software engineering process is also included.

Lectures, lessons and computer labs.

The examination consists mainly of a number of

computer labs and assignments to be solved

individually and/or in group, with written and/or

oral presentation. Written examination can occur

as a complement.

The reading list is missing. For further information, please contact the responsible department.
