the future outside of class. To facilitate the transition from MATLAB to C, a handoutwith sample code showing the MATLAB and C equivalents is provided to students. During Week6, in addition to writing their first program in C, students also must follow a prescribed algorithm.The Brensenham’s line drawing algorithm is discussed in class without considering theimplementation in C and students are asked to understand the algorithm and to implement it in aC-program. This allows students to further hone their computation mindset by observing how acomplex procedure is decomposed and planned by another author. This also forces students tohave to implement the algorithm exactly as intended and does not leave room for any otherinterpretation. After
