Computer Programming (COMP 0987)

This course introduces students to the topic of Computer Programming. Students will learn the basic syntax of a popular programming language (Java, python, or C++). Students will learn how to approach and solve problems using basic procedural solutions (one-dimensional arrays, non-nested loops, minimal nested conditionals, no recursion) that demonstrate understanding of the fundamental concepts of programming.

Completion of 2 of the following courses is required for completion of ABE Provincial Level Computer Studies: COMP 0982, COMP 0984, COMP 0985, COMP 0986, COMP 0987. These courses may be taken in any order.
