Introduction to Problem Solving,
Algorithms, and Programming

Topics:

Summary:

A study of techniques for finding solutions to problems using structured programming and step-wise refinement. Topics include principles of programming, the logic of constructing a computer program, and the practical aspects of integrating program modules into a cohesive whole. Algorithms are used to demonstrate programming as an approach to problem solving. The basic features of the C++ language are illustrated.
