Computer Programming 2

Computer Programming 2 - 0.5 credits

Students will continue to demonstrate sound techniques for designing, developing, documenting, and debugging well-structured programs using software-engineering principles. Students will illustrate fundamental programming aspects through the C++ programming language. Students will build on the programming 1 skills of successfully implement basic programming logic including declaring variables, arithmetic, decisions (algorithms), iterative loops, and learn how to solve problems implementing broader

programming concepts including: functions (abstractions), lists (arrays), and searching and sorting.

This class will be using the codeHS online curriculum.

Units

Unit 1 - Intro to CPP: 

• An introduction to the C++ computer language. Students will learn basic syntax to output, input, create variables, do arithmetic, and use conditional statements.

Unit 2 - Iteration: 

• Students will learn how to use iteration in their programs. They will become familiar with the for loop and while loop and understand when to use each.

Unit 3 - Vectors & Strings: 

• Students will learn about a variable type that can be used to store a list of like typed data.

• Students will learn how to manipulate the vector using sorting and searching algorithms.

• Students will use the concept of vectors to understand the string variable type.

Standards:

• Algorithms and Programming

15% AP-1 Students will analyze a problem and develop an algorithmic solution using sequence, selection, and iteration

25% AP-2 Students will construct programs to solve a problem or for creative expression, which include sequencing, events, loops, conditionals, and variables

25% AP-4 Students will create and use abstractions to solve complex computational problems. (vectors)

20% AP-6 Students will use and explain testing and debugging methods to ensure program correctness and completeness.

• Computing Systems

15% CS-2 Students will modify and create computational artifacts (programs) using different forms of inputs and outputs.
