---------------------------- Course Title: STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING IN QUICKBASIC I Number: CSE 310 Students will learn how to use structured programming techniques as applied through the QuickBASIC language for writing and debugging executable programs. Topics include program format, documentation, input, output, assignment, numeric and string variables, operators and expressions, hierarchy of operations, use of parentheses, string expressions, assigning values, reading input, library functions, error diagnostics, logical debugging, relational operations, logical expressions, logical operators, conditional execution, conditional looping, nested control structures, select case structures, line-oriented control statements, arrays, subscripted variables, data, read and restore statements, functions and subroutines, data file fundamentals, and others. No prior programming knowledge is required; the only prerequisite is high school math (pre-algebra). By learning structured programming in BASIC, one can learn the classes of variables, modular programming, and discipline in programming. 12 weeks. High school students: register for CSE210

----------------------------- Course Title: STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING IN QUICKBASIC II Number: CSE 311 CSE311 is a continuation of BASIC programming from CSE310, however in CSE311 the student is taught to dispense with Line Numbers and program in a modular fashion. This is done by making full use of QuickBasic's Blocking statements BEGIN and END, and understanding the ways that program flow can be controlled and simplified if we distill each function of the program down to its essence and "compartmentalize" each function in just a few lines of code. Advanced data structures such as queues and relative files are explored. Methods of interfacing QuickBasic programs to other computer languages are covered. Students are free to pick and choose among a wide array of programming assignments which provide for specific point credit for each part of the assignment. For each module there is an "easy" assignment and an optional "diffucult" assignment. The student may choose either, but will obtain course credit faster and will learn more by selecting the "difficult" assignments. By and large, programming theory was covered in CSE310, so this course is considered a more hands-on approach, and is therefore graded on the basis of point values for the assignments only. There are no examinations. High school students: register for CSE211 Computer Science Course Price List Course Registration Form
----------------------------- Course Title: VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMMING Number: CSE 315 (Not currently offered.)
