 == Skill Checklist
+Although, at this level, we assume the student already has basic programming skills, we will provide a basic explanation of all the concepts used. This commentary would be aimed at a student who knows two or more of the required languages already, but needs to be able to write the program in a third or fourth language. If the student is a beginner we don't recommend starting here, but go to the [[Basics]] page instead.
-Basic programming concepts, ex. input and output (commands and streams)
+Students must be able to write a complete working example program, which compiles and runs, in either C, C++, Java or Python, for every concept covering each of the following:
-numeric variables, arithmetic, logical and bitwise operators
-other variable types character, string, etc. and basic operations (excluding “as array”)
-Data types, constants, variables, scope: global / local
-control structures
-loop structures
-functions
-recursion
-arrays and structures (how to do C’s “struct” is in other languages)
-Basic data structures (how to make queues, stacks, trees, graphs)
-Basic algorithms, including: sorting, searching, greedy method, dynamic programming
-Dynamic programming (Top Down Design): simplifying a complicated problem by breaking it down into simpler sub-problems in a recursive manner. This is not refactoring; it is a design method.
