Abstract

The issues of teaching C++ programming language for cartographers and surveyors at the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography are considered. As a result a new C++ programming course for undergraduate students has been developed. Cartographers and surveyors learning C++ programming are to solve tasks from the related areas of cartography and geodesy. The programming course is geared towards the needs of surveying and cartographic industry. This is the request of today to create programming courses suitable for particular higher educational institutions taking into account their scientific specialization. The current state of affairs in the design and development of programs intended for the educational process is covered. The need to develop theoretical foundations of design the training programs based on the domain-driven design is proved. A training program that simulates the work of the theodolite 2T30 while measuring of horizontal angles by method of full-sets has been developed. The program illustrates the application of functions in order to solve this problem. Each function performs its subtask. It might be, for instance, sampling using a theodolite readout microscope or calculating the average angle value from two half-sets with the circle left and right, or converting the angle value to degrees and minutes. The program uses different types of function calls. In the aftermath of its work program displays the average value of the horizontal angle calculated from the values of full-sets. The program developed demonstrates the processing of the angular measurements obtained by the theodolite on the basis of functional programming.
