NOTOC

Extension

This page contains information specific to Extension School students.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for this course for Extension School students are CSCI E-52, CSCI E-113, or experience programming in C.

Note: This course requires programming in C. You should deeply understand C pointers and arrays before taking this course. Ideally you should already have experience programming in C. If you have not previously programmed in C but know another procedural language, such as Java, you will likely be able to quickly learn what you need. See the resources page for pointers to material for learning C. Talk to the instructor if you are unsure whether you are sufficiently prepared for CS 61.
