**Major Requirement (for B.A. and B.S.)**

Course Description:
In this course, you will get a chance to learn a second programming language in addition to Java, C++. While C++ and Java are similar in many respects, there are also major differences between the two languages. Those differences will be examined in this course.

You will also get experience writing programs in different development environments, including working directly with a compiler from the command line. Debugging techniques will be discussed, and you will get extensive practice using a source-level debugger to find errors in your code. Never again (hopefully!) will you resort to inserting print statements in your code to debug!

Offerings:
Offered each fall semester.

Instructor:
This course is taught by Dr. Jipping.

Prerequisites:
CSCI 225. See the department policy on prerequisites.
