Fundamentals of Programming

The textbook Fundamentals of Programming is intended for the study of basic programming concepts, in accordance with the needs of the study programs offered at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Banja Luka. It is primarily adapted to students, but it may also be useful to all interested readers who wish to acquire fundamental knowledge in the fields of computer science and programming languages.

The content of the book covers the basics of computer architecture, programming principles, and the C and C++ programming languages. The material is presented gradually, starting with general concepts related to the architecture of computer systems, continuing with procedural programming in the C programming language, and progressing to object-oriented programming in the C++ programming language. In this way, the textbook enables the systematic acquisition of knowledge necessary for understanding procedural and object-oriented approaches to programming.

The particular significance of the textbook lies in connecting theoretical explanations with their application in the C and C++ programming languages, which hold an important place in the development of modern software solutions.
