2. Course Description
The course is designed to introduce problem solving techniques by dividing large programs in to sub
modules through the concept of function in C++. Such programming technique simplifies programming
tasks by re-use of modules in different programs or in the same program, facilitates understanding,
debugging and maintaining the program. The course also introduces advanced data structures such as
pointers enable dynamic allocation and de-allocation of memory, structures help to store and access
records in an easy way, File Operations (File Input/output).
Laboratory exercises are dedicated to practice the all basics on writing simple C++ programs and will
reinforce basic programming concepts, logic flows and structured programming design using C++
function concepts, structure and pointer data types and file management.
3. Course objective/learning out come
At the end of the course students will be able to
Understand the principles of file data storage and manipulation
Write a program that uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: Structures,
Functions, Arrays, pointers

7. Course Policy
All students are expected to abide by the code of conduct of students (article 166 and 166.1.1, of the Senate
Legislation of Bahir Dar University May 20, 2005) throughout this course. Academic dishonesty, including cheating,
fabrication, and plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be reported to concerned bodies for action. Class
attendance and participation: You are expected to attend class regularly. I will take attendance on regular days
during the semester to ensure that students are coming to class, and if you miss class repeatedly, your grade will be
affected as it has value. If you miss more than 85% lecture and tutorial and 100% for laboratory class attendance you
will not sit for final exam.
