Objectives of the Course The course aims to make an introduction to computer programming. It presents knowledge about structural programming, algorithm concept and design of algorithms from an elementary level to an advanced level. At the end of this course, the students will have learned how to develop a program in Python programming language for various problems.
Course Content This first course in a sequence of two courses as covering subjects at higher level in Python Programming language and an introduction to programming concept by using C programming language. Specifically following subjects in Python Programming Language are taught in this course. Algorithm concept. Flow charts. Structural programming concept. Modular programming. File processing. Lists and applications.
