Class Meeting: Lecture W 7:45-9:55PM

Prerequisite: none

Required Text: C++ How to Program (4^th ed.) by Deitel and Deitel

Course Description:
An introduction to the basic concepts of computer organization and programming. Algorithms are defined and used. Numberic character manipulation is carried out. File handling, recursive functions, and elementary data structures are studied. Computer use is required.

Specific Educational Objectives of the Course:

• Use the C++ programming language (ANSI/ISO Standard C++) as implemented by Mircosoft Visual C++6, using the Windows operating system environment;
• Write, compile, run, and debug complete C++ programs;
• Use programming features including control structures, functions, arrays, pointers, classes, and data abstraction; and
• Manipulate files using sequential and random access

Conduct of the Course:
Lectures will be used to introduce, explain, and practice using new features of C++. Reading from the textbook will enhance your understanding of those lectures. Weekly homework assignments (not necessarily done at a computer) will reinforce the concepts discussed in lecture. The computer portions of the assignment will be submitted to me via email and used to provide feedback on programming technique and style in preparation for graded programming projects. Programming projects will be used to assertain your performance in the course. Unless prior arrangements are made, the programming projects must be submitted by their announced due-dates, or be subject to a grading penalty. These will also be submitted using email.

Grading:

• Programming Project 1: 33%
• Programming Project 2: 33%
• Programming Project 3: 34%

Final Grade Distribution:
Final letter grades will be no worse that those in the following table.
