Title: Module Introduction-9
Course: COP 1510 Programming Concepts > Section: Module 7 - Functions

Introduction

Module 7 is a short module that introduces you to the concept of using functions in your program. Functions are like modules in many ways, except they allow you to return a value as a result of the function. We will also look at a number of existing library functions that are available for us to use in our programs. Using these library functions allow us to write our programs more quickly because we are not trying to re-create code that has already been written for us.

Objectives

Upon completion of this module, the student will be able to:
- Compare and contrast programming languages and choose a language for a programming task.
- Produce computer programs using Integrated Development Environments.
- Design a program using pseudocode and flowcharts.
- Develop, compile, debug and execute application programs for execution.
- Create proper computer programs that include: Reserved Words, Comments, Variables, Constants, Arithmetic and other operators, Decision structures, Input and output, Iteration and looping, Methods or procedures
