Object Oriented Programming
About this subject
Upon completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- explain object oriented programming concepts including classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism;
- apply object oriented design principles to algorithm design and analysis; and
- develop computer programs using Java, which is an object oriented programming language.
- Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects moodle site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.
Object-oriented programming is one of several popular programming paradigms in use today. It is based around the concept of 'classes' and their instances, known also as 'objects' and their interactions. Objects contain both data, called attributes, and code, known as methods.
In this subject, techniques for computer program development using Java, an object-oriented programming language, are introduced. Topics covered include classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, single and multidimensional arrays, file input/output, decision structures and loops. Programming language features for parameter passing, exception handling, and simple user interface development will also be covered.
All assignments must be attempted.
Final Examination: 2 hrs 15 mins duration. It is mandatory to pass the Final Examination in order to pass the unit. The exam will be offered online with supervision via webcam and screen sharing technology. Coordinated by UNE Exams Unit.
