Basics of Computing and Programming

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• Understand binary number systems and how to convert between them.
• Understand hexadecimal number systems and how to convert between them.
• To represent data, use numeric and textual data types.
• In the construction of a program, use variables.
• Analyze the task and incorporate its elements into the construction of the program.
• Use multiple data types to perform fundamental I/O operations.
• Create expressions with the help of arithmetic operations (including understanding their limitations, such as integer truncation, round-off error, division by zero, narrowing and widening conversions, casting, precedence, and standard math library functions).
• Create expressions that make use of relational operators (including understanding floating-point equality).
• Logic operators are used to creating expressions (including short-circuit).
• Statements about design choices (including nested selection).
• Repetition statements should be designed (including count-controlled versus event-controlled, sentinel-controlled).
• Use lists to create simple data structures (including loops and multi-dimensional lists).
