Introduction to Programming

Catalog description

Learning to write concise, effective, and well-documented computer programs is a prerequisite for any substantive study of computer science. This course introduces students to structured and object-oriented programming constructs, including data types, mathematical and logical operators, control flow constructs, basic data structures, functions, data input and output, objects, classes, methods, inheritance, and algorithmic problem solving. Students are expected to learn to effectively design, execute, and debug algorithms using an object-orientated approach.
