Objective: This course provides an introduction to computer systems and software by studying one of the popular high‑level languages available, C++. Concentration on one language provides an in‑depth background to the structured concepts of program and algorithm design. The course specifically deals with programming language syntax, data types and operations, control structures, data structures, and management of run‑time resources. Lab exercises using Microsoft’s Visual C++ (supplied with the textbook) will be used to reinforce the topics presented in the lecture. (Corequisite: MA‑135)
