Taking ACS-1905 is a prerequisite for 4 courses directly, and opens 26 once their own follow-ons are counted.

  • ACS-2909Internet Programming
  • ACS-2913Software Requirements Analysis and Design
  • ACS-2947Data Structures and Algorithms

Where ACS-1905 counts

Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • ACS 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN APPLIED COMPUTER SCIENCE
  • ACS 4-YEAR BSc IN APPLIED COMPUTER SCIENCE
  • ACS BSc (HONOURS) IN
  • MATH 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN MATHEMATICS
  • MATH HONOURS BSc IN MATHEMATICS

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course assumes that students already have working knowledge of an object-oriented programming language as well as effective use of data types and control structures. This course begins with an overview of the object-oriented programming language and then more advanced topics in order to extend the student's programming skill. Topics to be covered include inheritance, polymorphism, sorting techniques, string processing, interfaces, files and packages.

Requisite courses

Computer Science 40S or equivalent [prerequisite(s)]; and one of ACS-1805 with a minimum grade of C, Pre-Calculus Math 40S or Applied Math 40S [prerequisite(s)]; ACS-1905L (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Students may not hold credit for this course and ACS-1904 | BUSC-1901 | BUSC-1902 | BUSC-1905.
