Total Lectures : 40 ( Number of lectures are indicated
within brackets against each topic )
-
Introduction to the course. (1L)
-
Practical aspects (basic information on 'how' questions):
introduction to Linux, the
programming environment, write and execute the first program. (2L)
-
Introduction to the object oriented approach - classes, objects,
state through member variables,
interface through member functions/methods. Give many examples of OO
approaches to
problem solving in science and engineering. (4L)
-
Procedural programming (13L)
-
introduction to basic input-output (has to be done early so that
labs can use it) (1L)
- assignment and expressions (1L)
- control: if, if-then-else, case, go, continue, break (2L)
-
loops, iterators, enumerations examples from algebraic equation solving
(3L)
- function as a procedural abstraction, argument passing, references
(2L)
- basic containers: Array, Vector, examples from solving systems of
linear equations (2L)
- recursion (2L)
- Object-orientation aspects (10L)
- Programming using classes and objects (3L)
- Scope, encapsulation, visibility (2L)
- Inheritance, subtypes, static-dynamic binding (3L)
- Primitive types, classes as types, wrapper classes for primitive
types (2L)
- Java i/o system (2L)
- More container classes - list, hashtable, set, sortedset, algorithms
which use these classes
(4L)
- Interfaces (2L)
- Advanced topics: overview of one or more topics from applets,
threads, java beans,
javadoc, java virtual machine, etc. (the remainder of the course)
