Aim
The aim of the course is to give a solid foundation of imperative programming and an introduction to object oriented programming. The course teaches how to develop imperative programs using functional decomposition and testing and relevant techniques. The object oriented parts teach fundamental techniques for object orientation and how an object oriented program is constructed.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
The student should be able to complete programming tasks on a fairly basic level. This means the student should be able to explain and use:
- A modern development environment (editor, compiler, debugger)
- Data as primitive variables and reference variables/objects.
- Basic algorithms.
- Functional decomposition and testing.
- References: Be able to visualize reference semantics, variables, values, references, and objects.
- Types: primitive and reference types (arrays, class, and interface types), implicit and explicit type conversions, enumeration types, wrapper types and boxing. Super and sub types.
- Standard libraries for classes/objects and collections.
- Own classes and implementations and interface inheritance.
- Polymorphism
- An object oriented model of some problem domain.
Content
The course uses the Java language. The following will be addressed:
- In and output using streams
- Literals, types, variables, declarations, initialization, operators, expressions and statements, casts, scope
- Control statements: if, while, for, break, switch.
- One and two dimensional arrays
- Methods, parameters, return types, method calls, local variables, overloaded and overridden methods.
- Primitive types vs reference types, value and reference semantics. Equality.
- Classes, objects, interfaces, constructors and access. Inteface and implementation inheritance.
- Graphical and event driven programs (JavaFX)
- Exceptions and exception handling
- Overview of file handling
- Overview of generic classes and methods.
- Texthandling, strings (String, StringBuilder, Character).
- Java Collections
- Instance and class variables/methods.
Organisation
Teaching is given in the form of computer exercises and labs and lectures. During exercises/labs you will be able to get help.
Literature
Information about recommended course literature is communicated via the course web site before course start.
Examination including compulsory elements
A written exam and a number of compulsory programming assignments.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
