Content
This unit explores the relationship between computer program code and the software systems that are generated from them. Students experience developing simple software in the context of a sequence of laboratory-based case studies. They explore a variety of data types including an introduction to arrays and structures, and elementary flow control including subroutine calls, alternation and iteration. They examine the manner in which software components and objects interact and communicate with one another, particularly the relationship between the user interface and other software components. They investigate the concept of program state and the manner in which program statements modify program states. They are introduced to program specification described in terms of pre-conditions and post-conditions of the post-state.
