COMP SCI 7202UAC - Foundations of Computer Science

This course will develop your coding and problem-solving skills with a focus on data and data science. You will learn algorithm design as well as fundamental programming concepts such as data, selection, iteration and functional decomposition, data abstraction and organisation. You will explore Object-Oriented programming fundamentals, including the use of classes and inheritance. You will build effective problem-solving skills, including exposure to problem solving processes and strategies, simple Searching and Sorting algorithms (linear and binary search, selection and insertion sort). You will build fundamental software development skills including the use of programming environments and tools, debugging, testing and fundamentals of good programming practice, style and design.
