AP Computer Science A
What is the most efficient way to sort a list of ten thousand names in the shortest amount of time? How can we continue to maintain a programs life span without excessive use of reusing code? These are the types of complicated yet intriguing questions that will be answered in AP Computer Science. This course takes students deep into the infrastructure of the Java language, including memory efficiency, searching and sorting, data structures, and polymorphism. In May, students will take the AP Exam.
