Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- You will become familiar with a large part of the C programming language.
- You will develop the problem-solving and technical skills to analyse small-scale computational problems, and to subsequently design, encode and debug C programs to solve such problems.
- You will understand some of the basic principles underlying the discipline of computer science, and gain some appreciation of different styles of programming to the imperative style explored in this course.
- You will become familiar with Max/MSP external programming in C and will have demonstrated this in a programming task.
- You will have developed problem solving skills: the ability to analyse a modest-scale computational problem, develop a solution at the level of a high-level program design, and implement that design in a programming language.
