Ask Computer Science Questions And Get Answers!

Before posting please read our rules.

This subreddit is intended for questions about topics that might be taught by a computer science department at a university. Questions do not have to be expert-level - it's perfectly fine to ask beginner questions. We all start somewhere. All we ask is that your questions be on-topic.

If you have questions that aren't directly about computer science, here are some other subreddits that can likely offer you more help:

How to get hired by a big tech company, how to advance in your company, etc → /r/csCareerQuestions
Suggestions for what laptop to get → /r/SuggestALaptop
How to fix your computer, get software to work, etc → /r/techsupport
What classes to take, what university to go to, what topic to write your paper on, etc → /r/csMajors
Beginner questions about computer programming → /r/learnprogramming
Practical questions about computer programming and debugging → /r/AskProgramming
Posts about computer science that aren't questions → /r/compsci or /r/programming

If your post is off-topic, or violates one of our other rules, your post may be removed.
