CSC 161: Imperative Problem Solving and Data Structures

A continuation of Computer Science 151, bringing in some concepts more
closely tied to the architecture of computers, compilers, and operating
systems, such as macro processing, compilation and linking, pointers and
memory management, data representation, and software development
tools. Additional topics include assertions and invariants, data
abstraction, linked data structures, an introduction to the use of the
GNU/Linux operating system, and programming in a low-level, imperative
language. Includes formal laboratory work. Prerequisite: CSC 151, or
permission of the instructor.
