  • understand the basic principles of a programming language, including understanding control structures, data types, data structures, and functions;

Skills

  • apply acquired knowledge in the design of a simple application
  • implementing, interpreting, and analyzing code
  • use programming skills to process and process input from keyboard and mouse
  • use programming skills to design and implement basic functions
  • discuss and assess the quality of a given code

Competences

  • evaluate existing code, evaluate its design, and propose changes
