Osaamistavoitteet

The course introduces the basic concepts and structures of programming languages, the algorithmic thinking needed for programming, and practical programming skills sufficient for working with an editor and interpreter. The main goal is to learn how to build small, functional, 1-5 subprogram-based applications based on sequences, selection, and repetition.

Sisältö

The learning tool and example programming language for the course is Python. Topics covered include, among others, writing programs in an editor, proper programming style, variables, references, basic control structures, basic data structures, input and output, algorithmic problem solving, modularity, and functions. In addition to studying theory, students will be required to practice independently from the start of the course.
