Programming Constructs

In CS1025, it is expected that you can design, define, and debug programs written in a high-level procedural programming language using the following constructs:

1. simple variables (e.g. integers, reals, booleans, characters)
2. named constants
3. counted (aka definite) loops (e.g. for (aka do))
4. indefinite loops (e.g. do-while, while, repeat-until, …)
5. simple conditional statements (e.g. if, if-else)
6. complex conditional statements (e.g. if-else if, switch (aka case))
7. modules with parameters
   
   

Note: You need not be familiar with object oriented programming techniques in order to take CS1025.
