This course emphasizes a careful, disciplined approach to computer programming using Pascal. Problem solving through stepwise development of algorithms is presented. Students will learn Pascal programming language, syntax, coding, program logic, and program testing. (Engineering and Science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC, 2+2) CIS 44A *STRUCTURED COBOL PROGRAMMING 3 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of CA 30 or CIS 40, and Eligibility for ENGL 50BR4, ENGL 51BR2 and MATH A. This course presents the structure of the COBOL programming language-syntax, coding, program logic, debugging, and program testing. Writing programs to solve business problems. (Engineering and Science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC) CIS 44B *ADVANCED COBOL PROGRAMMING 3 units 4 hours weekly This course presents advanced topics in COBOL: file handling, accessing, and updating; subroutines, overlays, and table lookup. Emphasis is placed on problem solving. (Engineering and Science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC) CIS 45 *INTRODUCTION TO CIS 48 *INTRODUCTION TO ADA PROGRAMMING FORTRAN PROGRAMMING 3 units 3 units 4 hours weekly 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of CIS 43A or CIS 44A or CIS 48, and Eligibility for ENGL 50BR4, ENGL 51BR2 and MATH C. This course is designed to give the student an introduction to the Ada language. It will explain why it was developed and its purpose. The student will develop structured programming techniques including readability, strong typing, exception handling, data abstraction, and programming in the large. Important concepts will include using separate compilation processes to develop portable and modular programs. (Engineering and Science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC) 0 Ada is copyrighted by the Department of Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 50BR4, ENGL 51BR2 and MATH C. Students will learn the fundamentals of computer programming, problem specification, design, and the elements of the FORTRAN programming language. The course will include writing and debugging FORTRAN programs, and program verification using personal computers. Students solve real problems from business, science, mathematics, and engineering by designing, implementing, and testing FORTRAN programs.
