Introduction to Computer Science II

Catalog description

Students will continue to develop the skills introduced in CSE 115 while exploring the details of program execution and the structure of large programs. Emphasizes design decisions that affect the efficiency, expandability, and maintainability of code while analyzing the differences amongst a variety of approaches. Design decisions analyzed include choice of data structures and object-oriented techniques such as encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance. Additional topics include the use of recursion, multithreading, parallelism, hardware, graph and tree traversals, asymptotic analysis, divide and conquer, databases, testing, and multi-language integration.
