Inhoud

This course provides an introduction in the Java language. The course assumes familiarity with basic programming concepts as variables, functions, control flow and the like. After an introduction into the Java syntax for these concepts, the course will focus on object-oriented programming, inheritance, and polymorphism. More advanced topics as exception handling, generics and the Java Collections Framework will be quickly touched upon. 

Part 1 (3h): Language basics 

  • A brief history of Java 

  • Variables and types 

  • Operators and control flow 

Part 2 (6h): Object-oriented programming 

  • Creating and using objects 

  • Declaring and implementing classes and methods 

  • Inheritance and polymorphism 

  • Abstract classes and interfaces 

  • Nested, inner, and local classes 

  • Anonymous classes and lambda expressions 

  • Enums 

Part 3 (7h):  

  • Input/output and string handling

  • Exceptions 

  • Generics (generic types and methods, wildcards, type erasure) 

  • Packages 

  • Class diagrams

  • The Java Collections Framework

Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

Knowledge and understanding 

- The student can explain and illustrate the principles of object-oriented programming, including polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. 

-The student can explain and illustrate how the different OO concepts are realized in the Java programming language 

Application of knowledge and understanding 

- The student can analyse and design a class hierarchy for an application in a study environment. 

Judgement ability 

- The student can judge which OO concepts are the most suitable to implement a given application and can motivate their choice. 

-The student can argue and comment critically on the choices made for an implementation. 

Communication 

- The student can document their code in a clear, complete, and concise manner. 

Skills  

-The student can autonomously design and write a robust Java program with multiple classes that implements a given application in a study environment. 

- The student can write a correct, clear, and maintainable Java program with a minimum of redundancies, using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse. 

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Andere bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie Examen Andere dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Exam project met een wegingsfactor 90 en aldus 90% van het totale eindcijfer.

    Toelichting: The mark is based on exercises throughout the semester (10%) and a final exam (90%). The exam consists of a programming project where the students write code to solve assignments or implement a solution using concepts and skills learned in the lectures and exercise sessions. The realization of the learning outcomes and their understanding and authorship of the project are assessed in a thorough individual oral Q&A session. 
  • Computer-based exercises met een wegingsfactor 10 en aldus 10% van het totale eindcijfer.
