Learning objectives

Knowledge

The student must gain knowledge of concepts within the object-oriented programming paradigm and architecture, including a selection of the following:

• concepts and concept formation in object-oriented programming
• classes, methods, interfaces, abstract classes and generic variants
• scope rules and visibility
• instance and class members
• inheritance
• exceptions
• polymorphism
• encapsulation and abstraction
• standard library object-oriented design, architecture and principles
• design patterns
• specialization, implementation and delegation
• structured test
• documentation

Skills

• Construct programs that demonstrate the object-oriented principles of design and architecture covered in the course
• apply the concepts of classes, interfaces, objects, methods and polymorphism
• reason about program design and design patterns, and explain contexts in an object-oriented program
