ICS 2201 Object
Oriented Programming I ~ Course Outline
Prerequisite:
ICS 2102 Introduction to Computer Programming
Purpose of the course
The students will
understand the concepts of object oriented programming (OOP) and learn to write
programs for problem solving using an Object Oriented Programming Language.
Course objectives
1. To learn the concepts of object oriented:
Inheritance, Polymorphism, Dynamic binding,
Message passing, Data abstraction, Encapsulation etc
Message passing, Data abstraction, Encapsulation etc
2. To learn the aspects of the programming and
problem solving process, including problem
specification and organization, coding, debugging and testing
specification and organization, coding, debugging and testing
3. To learn the syntax and develop skill in
programming in an object oriented programming
language (C++).
language (C++).
Course Description
Object oriented
programming: Syntactic constructs, data abstraction, classification and inheritance, typing and polymorphism, testing and
debugging.
