Course Description

This course is intended for students in computer science or engineering majors. It covers:

a) Program development in a complex operating environment;

b) Problem-solving methods and algorithm development in a high-level programming language;

c) Program design, coding, debugging, and documentation using techniques of a good programming style.

Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in either MATH 127 or MATH 128; or MATH 181 or SAT score of 630 or higher or ACT Math score of 28 or higher.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Develop algorithmic solutions to problems and translate their algorithms into C++ programs that meet a set of specifications.
  2. Compile and execute their programs in the Linux operating environment and use appropriate testing and debugging strategies.
  3. Use appropriate control structures (sequence, selection, and iteration) in their programs.
  4. Develop modularized programs using functions and passing parameters.
  5. Use strings and file streams.
  6. Use one-dimensional arrays and records.
  7. Use good programming style and adequately document programs.
