Course Title: Object Oriented Programming
Course Code: CoSc2051
Prerequisite: Computer Programming (CoSc1015)
Year: III
Semester: I
Course Description
This programming course emphasizes the methodology of programming from an
object-oriented perspective and software engineering principles. It allows students
to develop the ability to analyze programming problems and design and document
suitable solutions and implement reliable and robust software using contemporary
program design methods. Topics to be dealt with are classes: data abstraction,
information hiding, overloading; inheritance; polymorphism; exception handling.
Course objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Explain the basic object-oriented concepts
• Successfully code, debug, and run programswith the appropriate development
environment
• Work on more advanced programs
• Have clear differentiation between structural and object-oriented programming
paradigms
