COS 140 - Introduction to Computer Science

Using the framework of problem-solving and programming in the object-oriented paradigm, this course introduces the fundamental concepts and techniques of Computer Science. Students learn how to develop problem solutions by integrating pre-defined or user-defined data objects and the control algorithms that make use of the objects. Topics include object design and use, algorithmic control structures, interactive and file-based input/output, and some basic structured data objects such as strings, arrays, lists, and tables. Course Typically Offered: Every year.

Prerequisite(s): None.
