Introduction to Programming II

At the end of this course the successful student will be able to:

• Identify the purpose and behavior of a provided code fragment.
• Modify an existing code fragment to change its behavior.
• Modify conditional and iterative structures in a short program.
• Write well-structured, well- documented, well-commented readable code.
• Design, implement, test, and debug a program that uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation, simple I/O, basic conditional and iterative structures, and methods.
• Describe the syntax and semantics of different conditional structures.
• Use conditional structures.
• Apply the techniques of decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces.
• Describe the role of formal and actual parameters of a function.
• Describe how strings and arrays are allocated, manipulated and used.
• Compare iterative and recursive solutions for elementary problems such as factorial.
• Formulate loop invariants for simple loops.
• Demonstrate loop termination.
• Implement, test, and debug simple recursive methods.
• Explain the philosophy of object- oriented design and the concepts of encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, interface and polymorphism.
• Use different access modifiers and non-access modifiers.
• Describe how the class mechanism supports encapsulation and information hiding.
• Compare and contrast the notions of overloading and overriding in methods.
• Identify the scope of the variables involved in a given code.
• Access and program databases using various classes.
• Design GUI programs.
