Course Goals
This course focuses on C programming, where each new C concept is introduced based on the fundamental concepts described in ECE120. We cover basic programming concepts, functions, arrays, pointers, I/O, recursion, simple data structures, and concepts in object-oriented programming. A bottom-up understanding of computing systems has proven more successful in helping students to understand advanced concepts in computing that follow in the ECE curriculum.
Instructional Objectives
After completing this course, students should
-
Understand how statements written in high-level language such as C are transformed into machine code. Be able to perform such a transformation manually. (1)
-
Understand the idea of scope and storage for variables, and the role of types in high-level languages in providing information to the compiler. (1)
-
Understand the stack abstraction an the notion of a calling convention and its role in supporting the transfer of information between a caller and a subroutine. (1, 7)
-
Understand the concepts of arrays and pointers and their representations in memory. Be able to use arrays and pointers for problem solving. (1)
-
Be able to develop and use data structures for representing and aggregating information (1, 6)
-
Be able to use dynamic memory allocation for storing values and objects in memory. (1, 6)
-
Understand the value of recursion as a problem-solving tool and be able to apply it for solving math and logical problems. (1, 6)
-
Be able to test and debug programs written in C using standard debugging tools and techniques. (1, 4, 6)
-
Be familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming. (4)
