This unit introduces more advanced object-oriented programming topics and techniques than its prerequisite, and gives students a deeper understanding of programming and data structures and more practical skills in designing, building and testing computer programs.
At the completion of this unit, students will have an understanding of: Object-oriented concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, and abstract classes. The implementation in Java of object-oriented concepts such as multiple inheritance. How to test a program consisting of many interacting classes. The collection classes in the Java API. Design principles for building an object-oriented program. Problem-solving techniques for debugging an object-oriented program. The concept of recursion in a computer program. Dynamic data structures. At the completion of this unit, students will have attitudes that will allow them to: Write programs that conform to programming standards; Use good design principles when constructing systems; Take a patient and thorough approach to testing; Acknowledge any assistance they have received in writing a program; Search for supplementary unit-related information in appropriate places when necessary. At the completion of this unit, students will be able to: Design an object-oriented program consisting of many interacting classes with association, generalization and aggregation relationships; Construct a test harness for testing a multiple class object-oriented program; Write code to implement a multiple class object-oriented design in Java including association, generalization and aggregation relationships; Debug and modify an existing program consisting of many interacting classes; Use the Java API classes as part of their programs; Use the Java collection classes to store and retrieve data appropriately; Use recursion to solve new problems; Read data from keyboard and files, and write data to screen and files; Use exception-handling techniques in programs; Use UML to design an object-oriented program. t the completion of this unit, students will be able to: Document a program correctly; Produce appropriate documentation for designing and testing a program; Explain how parts of a program work.
