Abstract

This lecture is an introduction to programming based on the language C++;at the same time we present important theoretical concepts that are at the heart of programing. In the first part, we speak about the concepts "Problem", "Program", and "Algorithm" , and we discuss the theoretical limitations of programming. The C++ part is subdivided into "Foundations", "Functions", and "Classes".

Objective

The goal of this lecture is an algorithmically oriented introduction to programming, but also to the limitations of programming.
