Computer based systems make a way into every field all over the world. Computer programs are serving
every sphere of life from calculating simple utility bills and payrolls to automated cruise controls, power
plants and medical diagnostic systems. This course focuses on efficient problem solving by using
computers. The students will be familiarized with the basic structured programming skills. Initially we will
learn how to design and represent solutions/algorithms in pseudo-code then we will learn how to
implement our solutions in C++. The objectives of this course are
• To introduce students to the basic concepts of computer programming.
• The focus of the course will be on general programming principles/techniques
