IN4110 – Problem Solving with High-Level Languages

IN3110/IN4110 will not be held Autumn 2024.

Course content

This course provides an introduction to more advanced aspects of the scripting and programming language Python, e.g. object-oriented programming, regular expressions, interaction with the operating system, platform-independent code, efficient design of program systems with time-critical operations, extensions in compiled languages such as C/C++, data analysis and web programming. The course also provides a basic introduction to the scripting language Bash, testing and documentation of code, and version control system git. Special emphasis is placed on practical problem solving with a focus on interesting and study-relevant tasks.

Learning outcome

After taking this course you'll:

  • have knowledge of more advanced aspects of the Python programming language, including the use of regular expressions and interaction with the operating system
  • be able to write scripts in Python and Bash to automate your own work tasks
  • have knowledge of the version control system git and how code can be documented and tested
