CMPS 190B Prog. Tech. & Algo. Dev. I
190. PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES AND
ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT I (Credit 3
Hours). This course is the first of a two-course
sequence designed to provide the foundation for
all computer science courses and for computing
careers, two fundamental aspects of computer science
are introduced: algorithms and programs.
The skills and techniques learned will be required
in all subsequent course work. CMPS 190 is a
very programming-intensive course so students
must allocate some time outside of class to completing
programs. Topics include: semantics and
syntax, data types and variables; assignment statement
with arithmetic expressions; program structure;
simple input and output; strings; Boolean
expressions; transfer of control statements; arrays
and functions. Prerequisite: None.
