CS 142 - Computer Science II Java

Maximum of 5.0 possible Credits
Intermediate Java programming. Topics include algorithm development, searching/sorting, complexity/efficiency, recursion, user interface design, class relationships including composition and inheritance and an introduction to abstract data types (was CMPSC 152). Prerequisite: CS& 141 (was CMPSC 151) or equivalent with a grade of 2.5 or higher or instructor’s permission.
