TMC 1414 Introduction to Programming

Lecturer Johari Abdullah Office : Admin Office, Level 3, Block A FCSIT Mobile No: 016 8789914 Email : ajohari@unimas.my FB: Johari Abdullah

Course Outline This course provides a general introduction to programming language. It is designed to give students the ability to write simple console programs and to be able to understand such programs written by others. The course covers problem solving skills, writing algorithms, basic programming syntax, control structures (loops, if statements, switches), functions and input/output operations. The course forms part of a core courses for the undergraduate program within the faculty, and provide programming foundation for other courses.
