Course Description
Computer Programming I is a foundational course that aims to equip students with a strong understanding of programming
concepts and essential coding skills. The course is designed to develop students' logical thinking abilities, problem-solving aptitude, and
proficiency in writing code using a programming language.
Throughout the course, students will explore the fundamental principles of programming, which form the building blocks of
software development. These principles include variables, data types, control structures, loops, functions, and basic algorithms. The
course typically focuses on a specific programming language, such as C++, to provide students with a hands-on learning experience.
Students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts they learn using the chosen language. They will gain practical skills in writing
code, executing programs, and debugging errors. Additionally, students will develop familiarity with the syntax, libraries, and tools
specific to the C++ programming language .
