ECS414U Object-Oriented Programming

Module code: ECS414U

Credits: 15
Semester: SEM2

This module aims to improve your programming skills and to develop fundamental skills in reading, writing, describing, structuring and reasoning about programmes. In particular, the course aims to develop these skills at the level of mid-level structure as seen in the object oriented style of programming.

Topics covered include:

  • the concepts of class, object, method, subclass, inheritance and their use in programming.
  • the relevance of the object-oriented style with respect to concrete software problems will be stressed both in lectures and labs.

By the end of the module you will be able to use most of the object-oriented concepts when writing programmes. Given a description of a problem in English, you should be able to identify the relevant classes and subclasses for the solution; write the methods reflecting the requested behaviour of the system; test and debug the programme.
