Setting up GCC on PC and Apple Computers

Description

Students will develop fundamental skills such as problem solving and abstract reasoning through computer programming, and will learn how to analyze a problem by looking at it from different angles; breaking it down into elementary subproblems, solving the subproblems, and combining their solutions.

Students will master programming techniques by writing computer programs using the C and the Java programming languages, and will develop good design practices that result in correct, robust and maintainable programs.
