Description:
(3 credits) Introduces problem solving and implementation of solutions using a high level programming language in a structured programming environment. Includes concepts and practice of structured programming, problem-solving, top-down design of algorithms, a high level programming language syntax, control structures, arrays, and an introduction into object oriented programming. First course in a three-course sequence (CSC 221, CSC 222, CSC 223). The assignments in this course require mathematical problem solving skills, algebraic modeling and functions, and use of variables. Total 3 lecture hours per week
Note:
This is a ***HY-FLEX*** class that allows students the flexibility to decide, from one class meeting to the next, whether they want to attend in-person, synchronously online (live-streaming), or asynchronously online (watching recorded lectures at a time that is convenient for them). Students are encouraged to register for their preferred course delivery mode (in-person, synchronous, or asynchronous), but can move freely between these modalities *without* having to swap their enrollment into a different class section. Some courses require proctored testing. Students can visit https://vpcc.edu/distance/students for information and resources for online students.
