CMSC 203 - Computer Science I

(R only)

Fundamental computer concepts. Studies methods of object-oriented program development and design. The course also covers language systems and semantics, structured program verification, different language paradigms, and documentation techniques. Students use a structured, high-level object-oriented programming language and learn to use both text-oriented and Windows-based user interfaces. Designing and implementing solutions to intermediate-level programming assignments are an integral part of the course. PREREQUISITE(S): A grade of C or better in CMSC 140 or consent of department. PRE- or COREQUISITE(S): MATH 181 . Four hours each week. Formerly CS 103.

4 semester hours
