Objectives

Master using basic C++ control structures and statements, the basic classes Boolean, Character, Integer, Real, Text, Character_IStream, Character_OStream, and related RESOLVE/C++ principles for clients, to write simple main programs and layered implementations of operations;
Be familiar with using the computing environment (operating system, tools, language system, etc.) to complete lab assignments and to communicate electronically with others;
Be familiar with using the Id_Name_Table and Natural_Number classes to write simple main programs and layered implementations of operations;
Be familiar with using simple recursion to write layered implementations of operations;
Be familiar with using simple predicate calculus assertions involving mathematical integer, string, and tuple models to understand and reason about an operation's behavior;
Be familiar with using simple techniques to test layered implementations of operations, including developing and carrying out simple specification-based test plans;
Be familiar with using simple techniques to debug layered implementations of operations;
Be exposed to writing simple predicate calculus assertions involving mathematical integer, string, and tuple models to describe the intended behavior of an operation;
Be exposed to using induction arguments to establish the correctness of recursive implementations of operations;
Be exposed to using simple loop specifications to reason about loop behavior;
Be exposed to using basic algorithm analysis techniques and notations to analyze and express execution time of operations whose implementations involve straight-line code and simple loops.
