Objectives
Objectives
The main outcomes of this subject is to prepare the development of a computing program. This subject reinforces the importance of creating algorithms for the resolution of problems and subsequent coding in a programming language. To this end, the subject addresses techniques for data storage that support the development of a computing program in C language.
At the end of the course the student is capable of:
- Structuring a reasoning for a problem with small to medium complexity, scratch a solution, build an algorithm and implement it in C language, addressing the initial problem;
- Use the grounding rules of imperative/procedural programming design (in C language), namely structuring a program with functions and understanding the impact of passing arguments by value, processing arrays and more complex structures of data.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Theoretic classes are expository, always covering practical examples on the covered topics, in a way to provide full understanding of the topics.
Practical classes enable students to exercise and test the topics.
