They use integer, floating point, character, and Boolean data types. Some programs use the array data structure. Programs are implemented using structured programming statements for sequence, selection, and repetition. Students continue working with problem solving concepts and database systems. They design multi-table databases using structured design techniques.
Students learn to integrate their database tables with other software applications.
Topics include computer mathematics and computer science theory. Mathematical operations in numbers in different bases, especially binary and hexadecimal, are covered as well as Boolean algebra and circuit design. Class activities include both lecture format and group work. Computer hardware topics, including microprocessor fundamentals and network interface cards, are explored in additional depth. This course instructs students in the steps of keeping accurate financial records.
