CS 162 Introduction to Computer Science II
| Credit Hours: | 4 |
| Course Coordinator: | Karla Fant |
| Course Description: | Introduction to programming using a high level programming language. Conditionals, I/O, Files, Functions, Classes, Pointers, Dynamic Memory, Linear Linked lists, and Multi-Dimensional Arrays. Program correctness, verification, and testing. Prerequisite: CS 106, or CS 161, or prior programming experience. |
| Prerequisites: | CS 106, Computing Fundamentals II or CS 161, Introduction to Computer Science I or prior programming experience |
| Goals: | The goals of this class are to teach the syntax of a high level programming language to students who already know what programs are. This course will introduce the syntax of C++ including: data types, variables, conditionals, loops, functions, and arrays. It will introduce new constructs such as classes, pointers, dynamic memory, linear linked lists, recursion, and multi-dimensional arrays to prepare students for CS 163, Data Structures. To learn and use advanced concepts provided by a modern structured computer language, such as data abstraction, seprate compilation and the use of library procedures.
