Development Of Teaching Materials For Basic The Institute If Computer Science Undergraduate Basic Language
Abstract
The purpose of this project report is to deve Lcp teaching
materials for BASIC, for the undergraduate computing courses offered
at the Institute of Computer Science on the ICL 2950 computer.
The material has been laid out in conjunction with the
reference manual on BASIC. It contains more examples with a better
power of understanding.
Computer Science can be divided into two great streams of
knowledge: one is programming and the other deals with principles,
construction and applications of computer systems. This repor+ is
centred on the first stream and in particular the BASIC language. It
is organized into two parts; Chapters 1 and 2.
The first dhapter is an introduction to computers. It enables
one to urrlerstand the basics of a computer system and how it works.
This is followed by an introduction to programming languages. Here,
a brief outline of the different languages is given together with a
guide to structured flowdharting.
The second dhapter deals with the BASIC language. It contains
the necessary statements, commands and instructions to enable one to
program efficiently.
The material for this report was obtained from the academic
staff of the Institute of Computer Science and from various
references listed in the Apperdix. The Apperdix also includes the
project proposal together with a report on suggestions from the
undergraduate students.
