An introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming methodology. Topics include program structure, conditional and iterative programming, procedures, arrays and records, object classes, encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, file I/O, and exceptions. Includes required laboratory. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

• An ability to program in an object oriented language, using concepts such as object classes, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
• An ability to use fundamental data structures such as arrays..
• An ability to program with sound code structure and use systematic software debugging and testing techniques.

Y. Daniel Liang, Introduction To Java Programming, Comprehensive Version. Pearson, 11th ed., 2017.

• Introduction to Objects in Java, using predefined objects (e.g. String)
• Review of program control statements: conditionals and loops with an introduction to formal methods (preconditions, post conditions, loop invariant)
• Writing more complex classes.
• Arrays and the ArrayList class.
• Inheritance and polymorphism in Java, simple examples, the Java class hierarchy.
• Exceptions and File I/O.
• Documenting sources of code

Each lab is run in a closed setting, where students must hand in a solution at the end of the lab.
