CSC113- Computer Programming II- Spring 2024

 

Course Description:  

This course continues the coverage of the fundamental concepts of Object Oriented Programming started in Programming I (CSC 111). It covers more advanced concepts and topics such as relationships between classes, inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, error handling, interfaces, generics and data structures.  

Course Objectives:  

The main objectives of CSC113 are:  

• Improving student skills in handling arrays of objects.  
• Explaining relationships between classes such as inheritance, association, aggregation and composition.  
• Introducing advanced concepts such as Polymorphism, Exception Handling and Generics. 
• Presenting dynamic data structures, such us linked lists, stacks and queues.  
• Showing how to access object and/or binary files with Java.  

 

Course Outcomes: 

Upon completing CSC113, students should have the following capabilities: 

1. Understand classes and instances, and how programs can be designed as a collection of communicating objects.  

2. Understand and be able to design and implement programs using object oriented programming concepts like: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes and methods, and Interfaces. 

3. Use standard documentation, such as UML class diagrams and online Java documentation.  

4. Learn how to compile programs on at least one platform using command lines and / or IDE.  

5. Create and manipulate dynamic data structures, such us linked lists, stacks and queues.  

6. Create and access files with Java.  

7. Design and Implement event-driven interactive programs. 

8. Understand recursion and be able to write recursive algorithms for problems.
