CSC 140 — Computer Science
Computer problem solving and programming in a high-level language such as Java is introduced. Algorithmic problem solving and basic programming techniques are emphasized. Problems are solved using methods such as top-down design and stepwise iterative refinement. Programming topics include basic data types, operators and expressions, control structures, functions, and arrays. Students are introduced to the concepts of classes and objects in the computer lab and are expected to complete several programming projects.
