What is computer science actually like?

What is an intro computer science course like?

  • I'm starting my major in computer science...and I'm wondering what the first course will be like? It's called CS 2XX for Computer Science Majors Will it be really easy? Really hard? Or somewhere in between? I don't really have much experience ...I'm a n00b

  • Answer:

    Intro in Computer Science isn't difficult even for someone who has never programmed before. You'll be introduced to the basic programming languages such as C++ and Java. Many schools are changing their languages from C++ to Java but either way you'll learn both in your Major. Also, in the introduction, you might learn what you can do in life with your major but it all depends. Again if you have never experienced programming before, don't sweat it. These intro classes were designed to teach those who had never touch a programming language yet. Later on you'll tackle harder programming projects but as long as you do well in the basic programming classes, you'll be fine. To be extra ready for Computer Science, you should have taken lots of Math and Science (at least 3-4 years) in high school and pass all of them.

I'm a Computer Science sophomore. The first course is introduction to programming. It's programming in java, making simple math-related problems, like creating random numbers and sorting them. It's very easy and relies on logic, will probably show u if ur gonna like ur specialty, thou u do need to spend some time on a pc writing programs. It may be in C++ instead of Java, doesnt matter.
