Programming

The course introduces the student to programming in Python and solving computational problems using algorithms. The main notions of imperative programming (variables, expressions, loops, functions, recursion, input / output) and the fundamental elements of object-oriented programming are provided.

Students will acquire the ability to write and tune a program that automatizes simple computational tasks; they will be able to understand how a small piece of Python code works, to find the reasons of a malfunction and to correct it appropriately
