The course covers the fundamental concepts of computer programming with a focus on systematic algorithmic problem solving. Taught language is C++. No programming experience is required. Primary educational objective is to learn programming with C++. When successfully attended the course, students have a good command of the mechanisms to construct a program. They know the fundamental control and data structures and understand how an algorithmic problem is mapped to a computer program. They have an idea of what happens "behind the secenes" when a program is translated and executed. Secondary goals are an algorithmic computational thinking, undestanding the possibilities and limits of programming and to impart the way of thinking of a computer scientist.

For questions about the lecture content of about a specific exercise you can contact your assigned assistant. For questions of general interest use the Slack channel. For administrative questions you can contact the Head TA, Marco Ancona.
To facilitate the introduction to the lecture, especially for beginners in programming, we will provide an introductory tutorial, which can be completed autonomously. We recommend to complete it early in the semester.
Hint: The tutorial is available in both german and english. You can switch the language any time.
