Course details


Programming Basics: Source code elements—comments, white space, identifiers, reserved words, statements. Programming procedure—the edit-compile-run process, using UNIX as a development environment.

Object-Oriented Programming: Basic concepts—objects, classes, relationships. Defining classes—encapsulation and instantiation, translating a class diagram to source code. Using predefined classes. Methods—accessor and mutator methods, constructors, visibility modifiers, overloading, method invocation, parameter passing using primitive and reference types.

Programming Concepts: Primitive data types—literals, variables, constants, expressions, characters, assignment statements, type conversion. Reference types—Strings, other objects. Control constructs—sequence, selection, iteration, Boolean expressions—relational, equality and Boolean operators, simple and complex conditions. Programming errors—compilation, runtime, logic. Comparison of primitive and reference types. Arrays—1D and 2D of primitive types. Scoping rules—class, instance and local variables.

Algorithms: Searching primitive data types—linear and binary search. Sorting primitive data types—selection and insertion sort.

Java specifics: Application Programming Interface. Keyboard input. Random numbers & number formatting.

Basic Program Development: Design—simple analysis of problem statements, defining diagrams, identifier lists, algorithms using pseudocode, problem-solving. Implementation—pseudocode/class diagram translation to code, internationally accepted coding style and naming conventions. Documentation—java documentation. Testing—test plans and test sets. Debugging—trace statements
