This course covers programming fundamentals using the Java language, emphasizing an object-oriented approach to problem solving. Topics include classes, objects, references, dynamic memory allocation, inheritance, polymorphism, arrays, files, design and implementation of abstract data types, in numerical and non-numerical applications.

Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:10pm -4pm (Room BATL 453)

• Design, implement, test, and debug programs that use each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation, I/O from console and files, simple graphical user interfaces that include events and listeners, exception handling, standard conditional and iterative structures, and the definition of methods

• Design, implement, and use classes and objects with Java features including encapsulation, appropriately scoped variables, static and instance variables, inheritance (including overriding methods), and polymorphism

• Implement basic algorithms to manipulate arrays, including multidimensional arrays

Course Outline

• Documentation for Java Standard Edition – Complete documentation of the Java language.

• The Java Tutorials – Have step-by-step instructions for how to write Java programs.
