CISC 1110: Introduction to Programming Using C++

The cornerstone introduction to computer science and programming utilizing the C++ language. Core topics include algorithm formulation, variable types, control structures (conditionals and loops), modular functional design, arrays, strings, basic pointers, file input/output, and fundamental debugging methodologies.

• Fundamental programming constructs: variable typing, conditional logic, iterative loops, and modular functions in CISC 1110
• Memory models and data representations: arrays, string parsing, reference passing, and scope resolution
• Introduction to algorithmic thinking: linear/binary search, basic sorting algorithms, and recursive problem decomposition
• Software development practices: debugging methodologies, unit test assertions, and structured coding style in Introduction to Programming Using C++
