Course detail
Algorithms and Programming Techniques
FSI-VCP Acad. year: 2023/2024 Winter semester
The course deals with algorithms and programming. C and C ++ programming languages are used for practicing. C (and languages derived from it) is currently one of the most widely used programming languages. Its great advantages include its universal applicability for various application areas and availability for most existing platforms. The C ++ language shows a very high degree of implementation of the features of object-oriented programming. The C ++ compiler is available for various platforms, the language itself is very well standardized. These features make C ++ one of the most suitable languages for building large-scale applications today.

Entry knowledge
The course expects basic knowledge of algorithms and computer literacy.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course-unit credit award requirements are both active participation in seminars and individual elaboration of two software projects (the first project in the C language and the second one in the C++ language). Students select their projects assignments, which are approved by the teacher. The examination is oral and consists of discussion on the created projects with possible complementary questions. The evaluation is fully in competence of a tutor according to the valid directives of BUT.
The attendance at lectures is recommended; the attendance at seminars is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation for missed seminars is fully in the competence of the tutor.
Aims
The aim of the course is to learn how to formulate algorithms for a wide range of engineering tasks, develop programs in C and C ++ languages and understand the features of object-oriented programming and methodology of program design and creation using OOP.
Students will obtain the basic skills and experiences of program writing and debugging of average stage of difficulty. Students gain insight into principles and methods of object-oriented programming using C++ language.
