Course

Introduction to Scratch/Blockly Visual programming and program constructs. Introduction to Java Language and Runtime Environment- Basic program syntax, Hello world, Data types, variables and Functions – Value types and Reference types, Implicit Pointers and the Null Pointer exceptions – Objects in Java, Class file, constructor functions, Class members and method, Class Instance variables, the Object class, new Operators, Heap allocation and Garbage collector – Basic Java API, Stream classes and objects for Data IO, hierarchy of data streams in Java, Throwable type hierarchy and exception handling syntax, the Thread class. Object-Oriented Concepts-Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance and PolymorphismAbstract Class, partially abstract and purely abstract, purely abstract class called Interface. Inheritance a way of extending classes, multiple inheritances and implements relation with Interfaces, The Base class and Derived class. Revisiting Instance and Class variables-Static and Dynamic Polymorphisms, Overloading and Overriding, Idea of a virtual function. Revisiting Thread API, the Runnable Interface, Other major Interfaces, Cloneable, Serializable and Observable. Interface as a mode of Type Polymorphism. UML Diagrams, Object relations and interactions, Containment and cardinality, Cohesion and Coupling. Object-Oriented Design Patterns: Creational: Factory, Singleton, Pool and Prototype – Behavioural: Command, Iterator, Memento, Observer, State, Visitor – Structural: Adapter, Bridge, Decorator, Flyweight and Proxy.

Course Objectives

The course will provide an introduction to object oriented programming. It will expose the students to the paradigm of object oriented programming. Students will also be motivated to solve the problems in engineering using the concepts of object oriented programming.
