Technical level of the course

This is not a beginning programming course. The official prerequisite for this course is a course in programming fundamentals using either C++ or Python.Those courses use C++ or Python strictly as procedural programming languages. The courses are currentlytaught using very simple IDEs.

I will assume...

I will assume that students in this course already know how to program using either C++ or Python as a procedural programming language and that they alreadyunderstand such fundamental concepts as programming logic, functions, parameter passing, etc.

I will also assume...

At the same time I will also assume that the students in this course know very little if anything about the following topics:

  • The use of a complex IDE.
  • The use of any programming language other than either Python or C++ solely as a procedural programming language.
  • Object-oriented programming.
  • Pointers or any other form of indirection.
  • Large-scale programming documentation.

These are all topics that will be important in learning how to make effective use of the Microsoft XNA Game Studio software.

What is C#?

According to Wikipedia,

"C# (pronounced "see sharp") is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing imperative, functional, generic,object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by Microsoft within the .NET initiative and later approved as astandard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure."

"C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.[3]Its development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg, the designer of Borland's Turbo Pascal, who has saidthat its object-oriented syntax is based on C++ and other languages.[4] JamesGosling, who created the Java programming language in 1994, called it an 'imitation' of that language.[5]The most recent version is C# 3.0, which was released in conjunction with the .NET Framework 3.5 in 2007. The next proposedversion, 4.0, is in development."

firm is the unit which transform inputs to output where as industry contain combination of firms with similar production 😅😅
Abdulraufu
Suppose the demand function that a firm faces shifted from Qd  120 3P to Qd  90  3P and the supply function has shifted from QS  20  2P to QS 10  2P . a) Find the effect of this change on price and quantity. b) Which of the changes in demand and supply is higher?
