Introduction. Basics of program writing. The main constructs of C.Variables, data types, expressions, standard input/output, decision and control statements, arrays, strings, functions, variable scope, structures, pointers and file input/output. Design techniques and modularisation. The role of design in the development of solutions to problems. Top down structured design. Algorithms and dynamic data structures. An outline will be given of the role of standard algorithms and dynamic data structures (linked lists, heap, queue, recursion).
Readings/Bibliography
Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie. Linguaggio C. Jackson libri.
Teacher's slides.
Teaching methods
Traditional lecture, practical class.
