- Want to strengthen your programming foundations? This course will take you to the next level!
- Ready to solve coding challenges with confidence? Let's get started!
This introductory course lays the groundwork for effective problem-solving and coding. Master core programming concepts, essential data structures, and algorithmic techniques, while developing analytical thinking and an understanding of time and space complexity.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completing this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze problems and design basic algorithms
- Implement control flow structures effectively
- Work confidently with arrays (1-D and 2-D)
- Solve string-related coding challenges
- Understand the basics of time and space complexity for evaluating code efficiency
Additional Notes:
- Assessments: Each module might include quizzes/coding challenges (“TEST-1”, etc.)
- Projects:
- Grade Calculator:
- Description: A program that takes different assignment scores (with optional weights) and calculates a final grade/percentage.
- DSA Concepts: Arrays (to store grades), basic calculations.
- Simple Text Analyzer
- Description: A program that takes text input and performs basic analyses such as word count, most frequent words, or reading-level estimation.
- DSA Concepts: Strings, potentially dictionaries/hashmaps for word frequency.
- Personal Library Organizer
- Description: A program that allows users to store book information (title, author, genre, etc.) and lets them search or sort their collection.
DSA Concepts: Arrays or lists to store book data, basic search algorithms.
