Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Design, implement, debug and test simple object-oriented programs in a modern high-level programming language.
- Write programs using good software development processes including design before implementation, encapsulation, information hiding, message passing, decomposition and testing.
- Analyze and explain behaviour of simple programs involving fundamental programming constructs.
- Apply the techniques of decomposition to break a program into smaller modules with well-defined interfaces
- Write automated tests to verify the correctness of their code.
- Explain the representation and use of primitive data types and built-in data structures, including arrays and strings.
- Explain the value of application programming interfaces (APIs) in software development.
- Use variables, control statements, and input/output.
- Use error handling to deal with exceptional circumstances.
