CSC 229 - Programming Concepts and Algorithm Design

Credit Hour(s): 3
This course is an introduction to programming logic and design using the language-independent approach designed to help students develop a strong foundation in traditional programming principles but without the rigorous attention to syntax rules associated with most programming languages. The techniques of finding solutions to problems through structured modular programming and step-wise refinement will be the focus as well as covering topics in the logic of constructing computer programs. Finally, algorithms will be introduced and used to demonstrate computer programming as a tool for problem solving. 3 Credit(s).

Prerequisite(s): MTH 100 or higher and one of the following: CSC 100, CSC 101, CSC 125 or BUS 230.
