Computer Science I

A C++ foundation: program design, types, input, decisions, loops, functions, arrays, strings, memory, and vectors, with worked examples and solutions that prepare every Computer Science II lecture and lab.

Learning path

1. From a problem to a running C++ program
2. Values, types, expressions, and numeric accuracy
3. Console input, output, and validation
4. Decisions, Boolean logic, and safe branching
5. Loops, counters, accumulators, and invariants
6. Functions, contracts, scope, and references
7. Arrays, bounds, and logical size
8. Searching, sorting, and preserving records
9. Nested loops, grids, and multidimensional data
10. Characters, C strings, and C++ strings
11. Addresses, aliases, lifetimes, and ownership
12. Structures, vectors, and container contracts
13. Recursion, numerical sums, and repeatable simulations
14. Capstone: a tested bridge to Computer Science II
