CS101

CS101 introduces the foundations of programming through Java. The course focuses on writing, testing, and debugging programs using variables, data types, selection, repetition, methods, arrays, and file input/output. It is a hands-on programming course, so the theory is learned through regular lab work and Java practice.

• Use basic programming language features such as variables, data types, operators, type casting, arithmetic expressions, and the Math library.
• Use selection statements, including `if`, nested `if`, `if-else`, `switch`, logical operations, and logical expressions.
• Use repetition statements, including `while`, `do-while`, `for`, nested loops, `break`, and `continue`.
• Write modular Java programs using methods, parameters, return values, method overloading, and variable scope.
• Write programs that use one-dimensional arrays, array copying, passing and returning arrays, searching, and sorting.
• Read from and write to the console and text files.
• Use a Java IDE to write, run, test, and debug programs.
