Hi, im taking an introductory computer science course at a University. One of the pre-requisites is knowing the basic knowledge of computer programming including "arithmetic expressions". To what extent do you think you have to know this? Instructors are so vague on this issue. |

if i am not wrong, "arithmetic expressions" its the REALLY basic, and to what extent? well... you gotta apply this almost everywhere when you dealing with programming or just math/logic (which is programming)... so obviously you gotta be comfortable with it in your language which you are learning just curious, what major are you taking? is this course a must or just for fun? and what university?  |

Whatever you can type into your calculator, you should be able to type for your computer. + - * / ^ sqrt, etc. Constants and variables are probably good too. |
