What do you learn in Ap Computer Science?
The AP computer science curriculum involves programming in the JAVA computer programming language. If you take the AP CompSci A class, you will learn the basics of JAVA including syntax and object-oriented programming. If you take the CompSci AB class, you will learn more advanced object-oriented programming, including different data structures to hold data.
Reply:Most computer programming involves math and certainly some of the fun projects like computer graphics. You should be able to check the syllabus to see what types of projects the class will work on or check with students taking the class this year.
Reply:We learned how to work with pixils to create pictures and then we even got involved in computer programming for computer games and things like that. It was based on computer equations (ex: %26lt;if%26gt; "x" moveleft %26gt; "y" moveright). Of course each program is different, and your teacher or professor may use a completely different program to teach from. The final project was thils little stick figure guy we had to create from absolutely nothing, just from programming formulas and then we had to make him do something interesting like dance or blow up or something like that. It was a lot of higher level thinking, and math, very similar to algebraic equations and I wasn't very good at it. Maybe you'll have better luck!
