150 Introduction to Computer Science
This
course introduces the principles of computer programming. Students develop the
design skills needed to promote code reuse, encapsulate function, develop
incrementally and test computer programs, while exploring the fundamentals of
data representation through static data types, class definition and object
instantiation. Programming assignments progress incrementally from simple
sequential logic through the full range of the program control structures and
use of the array structures. The study of computer organization, machine code,
numerical and character representation in various formats provides the
conceptual and practical background for future study. This course covers the
recommended course of curricula for the Association of Computing Machinery(ACM)
