Course description

Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the activities of any successful organization or enterprise without the effective use of information technology and information systems, the design and development of which ends with the process of programming the latter. The basis of programming is the process of algorithmization and the concept of algorithm, as well as knowledge of algorithmic languages.

At the same time, the formation of the future specialist of algorithmic thinking, the ability to clearly formulate the problem, to decompose it and find a solution, not only allows you to solve problems that arise in any field of human activity, but also to be competitive in the labor market.

All this is the basis of the fact that in-depth study of the discipline “Algorithmization and Programming” is a necessity today, especially for the contingent of specialists in information technology for business.

The subject of the discipline “Algorithmization and programming” are the basics of algorithmization and construction of program algorithms; basic syntax and basic elements of the C++ programming language.

The purpose of studying the discipline “Algorithmization and Programming” is to help students develop algorithmic thinking, as it teaches to reduce a complex problem, in particular, non-technical or non-mathematical origin, to simpler problems, obtain, design and analyze the results of their solution, draw conclusions about achievements goals and correctness of planned actions, model real-world objects, and study models, draw conclusions about the adequacy of the object model, use the principles of problem-oriented and object-oriented approaches not only to solving problems in computer science or other subjects , but also in everyday activities. Formation of knowledge and skills necessary for solving problems with the use of personal computer and modern software.

The main tasks of the discipline “Algorithmization and programming” – to get acquainted with the basic concepts of the theory of algorithms, with the most common algorithmic systems; master the principles of organization of algorithmic processes and forms of their implementation; to get acquainted with the main languages ​​of the description of algorithms, features of programming in programming language C++, principles of the organization and realization of programs.
