Computer Science

Catalog #20804208

This course uses the object-oriented programming language Java in a project-based learning format where students will be given increasingly challenging problems. Projects will be brought through the five stages of development: program design, definition and design of library classes, coding, testing, and documenting. Project elements begin with input, output, storage, and operations, and continue through control structures (loops, branching, and methods), data structures (arrays and classes), and techniques for searching and sorting. Students will implement standard Java grammar elements including inheritance and interfaces and will use the compiler and debugger to debug programs. Students will practice analytical skills through elimination of run-time and logical errors and will exercise writing skills in documenting code to a prescribed industry standard. The course requires eight to ten hours per week outside of class. Prerequisite: completion or concurrent enrollment in College Algebra or consent of instructor. Some prior programming experience is helpful.
