Description

The objective of this course is for students to develop proficiency in programming using a high level language. Topics covered include: fundamental programming concepts, program testing and debugging, the underlying memory representation of data, programming style. Practical experience of these topics is supplied by laboratory programming exercises and assignments.

Additional Information

This course should be taken by all CSE majors, and any other students who have an interest in computing or who wish to be extended. It does not require any prior computing knowledge or experience.

COMP1917 leads directly to COMP1927 and COMP2911, which are the pre-requisites for the full range of further computing courses.

Due to overlapping material, students who complete COMP1917 may not enrol in COMP1911 or COMP1921.
