CS& 131  Computer Science I C++  (5)

A continuation of CS& 131. Uses C++ data structure to illustrate concepts in computer science. Students organize and write C++ language computer programs to obtain the solutions to assigned problems. Emphasizes use of common data structures, abstract data types, inheritance, modularity, encapsulation, and recursion. Students learn to understand, design and implement medium-sized programs. PREREQUISITE: CS& 131 with a grade of 2.0 or higher and MATH& 151. Satisfies a natural science requirement for AA degree. Formerly C SCI 143.

CS& 141  Computer Science I Java  (5)

A continuation of CS & 141. Uses Java language to cover topics such as classes and interfaces, inheritance, basic design principles, exceptions, stream I/O, user interfaces, recursion, elementary data structures and associated algorithms (lists, queues, stacks, trees); and introduces performance analysis and implementation tradeoffs. Successful completion of the course gives students the tools they need to construct substantial computer programs and understand computers and software. Course also provides a good foundation for further study in computer science and engineering. PREREQUISITE: CS& 141 with a grade of 2.0 or higher. Satisfies a natural science requirement for AA degree. Formerly C SCI 145.
