CTP 150 - Computer Science 1

4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Formerly CSI 163 - Computer Science 1

Use fundamental design principles and problem-solving techniques introduced in CTP 115 to develop computer algorithms. Implement algorithms as programs coded in Java, an object-oriented programming language. Learn the data types, control structures, classes, arrays, and I/O in the Java programming language. Learn recursion, inheritance, polymorphism, and exceptions. Emphasize style, documentation, solution robustness, and conformance with specifications throughout course work.

Prerequisite(s): CTP 115 or CTP 115H or permission of computer science academic chair.

Crosslisted: Also offered as CTP 150H . Credit is not given for both CTP 150 and CTP 150H .

Note: CTP 115 prerequisite is waived for students that complete AP Computer Science. Credit is not given for both CTP 150 and CSI 161 or CSI 162.

Location(s) Typically Offered: Arnold Main Campus (MC), Glen Burnie (GB), and Online (OL)

Term(s) Typically Offered: Fall, spring, and summer
