CMSC 104 Problem Solving and Computer Programming 3 credits
|
Designed to prepare students for CMSC 201 by providing an introduction to computer programming that does not require prior programming experience. Students are taught the basic use of a programming environment and the basic elements of the C programming language (including loops, control statements and arrays). Introduces general computer science concepts such as operating systems, computer organization, computer architecture, data representation and memory usage. Note: This course does not fulfill any of the computer science major requirements. Students who have taken and received transfer credit for, or who are taking concurrently any computer programming course in a high-level programming language will not receive credit for CMSC 104. The list of such computer programming courses includes, but is not limited to: CMSC 103, CMSC 106, CMSC 109, CSMC 201, CMSC 202 and sections of CMSC 291 that cover programming topics.
