BIT 3106 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING I
Contact Hours 42
Pre-requisite BIT 1208 STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING
Purpose This course introduces the student to object-oriented programming
through a study of the concepts of program specification and design,
algorithm development, and coding and testing using a modern software
development environment. Students learn how to write programs in an
object-oriented high-level programming language.
Objectives By the end of the course unit a learner shall be able to;
Have a good understanding about the concept of object-oriented
programming using C++, be able to write and read basic C++
code.
Apply elementary techniques involving arithmetic operators and
mathematical expressions in C++ programming
Choose an appropriate data type to represent data
Write C++ programs that use selection (if, switch, conditional
operator)
Write C++ programs that use loops (while, do while, for)
Write C++ programs that use sequential files for input and output
Write C++ programs that make use of functions for transfer of
control
Write C++ programs that use arrays, including sorting and
searching arrays
Write C++ programs that use pointers
Solve programming problems using C++
Course Content Topics include Java language fundamentals, object-oriented design and
development, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), abstraction,
encapsulation, class design, data types, methods, parameter passing,
introduction to graphics and applets, selection constructs, repetition
constructs, arrays, documentation, testing, and debugging. Introduction to
