COMP10120 Computer Programming II

Academic Year 2020/2021

This module builds on the topics covered in COMP 10110 (Computer Programming I). Some core concepts covered in COMP10110 will be revisited through new examples and applications. Other topics covered include program design, recursive functions, enumerations, pointers, dynamic memory allocation, file processing, structures, linked list and multi-dimensional arrays. Examples and concepts are typically presented in C. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of practical programming skills for building software applications to solve real problems. The course is designed to give a sound understanding of programming techniques, and how to get your application programs from the design phase to implementation.
