Programming Methodology I

This 3 credit course introduces programming methodology and data structures in C++. Students will learn basic C++ concepts like data types, arrays, pointers, structures, loops, functions, and recursion. Object oriented programming concepts like classes, inheritance, polymorphism will also be covered. Common data structures like lists, stacks, and queues will be introduced. The course has homework, quizzes, midterm exams and a final exam for assessment. There is an associated lab course for hands-on C++ programming experience.
