BCSC 1002: OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Objective: This course introduces the object-oriented programming [OOP] paradigm using the Java
programming language. It emphasizes modeling real-world problems using classes and objects,
understanding core OOP principles, and writing structured, reusable, and modular code in Java. The course
includes hands-on practice with arrays, strings, interfaces, inheritance, exception handling, collections, and
JDBC for data connectivity.

Module Teaching
Content
No. Hours
Paradigms[Object-Oriented Programming Concepts]: Type of Paradigms,
Introduction to Object-Oriented Java Programming, Features of OOP over
Procedural.
Java Basics: Primitive Data Types, var keyword, Variable Scope
User Input Handling: Scanner class, Command-Line Arguments
Programming Constructs: Sequence, Selection, Iteration, For-Each loop,
Transfer statements
Arrays in Java: One-dimensional, Two-dimensional arrays, java.util.Arrays class
String Handling: String, StringTokenizer, StringBuilder, StringBuffer, Common
String methods
I Defining Methods: Method Signature, Parameter Passing, Method Overloading, 20
Static vs Instance Methods, Recursion
Classes and Objects: Creating classes and objects, Class members [fields and
methods], Constructors [default, parameterized, overloading, chaining], Object
lifecycle
Encapsulation: Access Modifiers [private, public, protected, default], Getters and
Setters
Inheritance: Superclass and Subclass, super keyword, Constructor chaining
Polymorphism: Method Overloading and Overriding, instanceof keyword,
dynamic dispatch
Abstraction: Abstract Classes and Methods, Constructors in Abstract Classes
Interfaces: Defining and Implementing Interfaces, Functional Interfaces, Default
and Static Methods in Interfaces, Marker Interfaces
Lambda Expressions: Introduction, Syntax, and Basic Use
Packages: Defining packages, Importing packages, Creating modular programs
Handling Errors with Exceptions
Checked [must handle] vs unchecked [runtime] exceptions
try, catch, finally, and raising your own exceptions with throw and throws
Using Wrapper Classes
II Convert primitives to objects [e.g. int ↔ Integer] for use in collections 20
Generics & Collections for Data Management
Generic classes and methods so code works with any type
Collections: List [ArrayList, LinkedList], Set [HashSet] avoids duplicates
Map [HashMap] holds key-value pairs
Basic Database Connectivity [JDBC]
Connect Java to MySQL: using DriverManager, then Connection
Send queries through Statement or safer PreparedStatement
Read results with ResultSet, close resources properly

Mini Project
Title[Example]:Student Result Management System
Objective: To integrate all the learned concepts into a working Java application
that can perform Create, Read, Update, Delete [CRUD] operations using JDBC.
Project Requirements:
• Define classes such as Student, Result, and DatabaseManager
• Store data using collections [ArrayList]
• Use methods to perform CRUD operations
• Handle exceptions gracefully
• Store and retrieve student data from MySQL database using JDBC
• Optional: Use a menu-driven interface for user interaction via console
Expected Learning Outcomes:
• Apply OOP principles in real-world context
• Implement clean, reusable, and maintainable code
• Perform database operations using Java
Text Book:
• Herbert Schildt, “The Complete Reference, Java Eleventh Edition”, Oracle Press.2019.
Reference Book:
