Course introduction
The course provides an academic basis for solving problems by modelling and implementing computer programs.
In relation to the learning outcomes of the degree the course has explicit focus on:
- giving the competence to plan and execute computer programs in Java
- knowledge of common programming methods
- developing skills in programming in different types of programming languages
- developing skills in software development
- developing skills in constructing bigger software systems
- developing skills in deciding and justify professional decisions
- developing skills in describing, formulating and disseminating problems and results to either other professional or non-specialists or collaborative partners and users
- giving the competence to handle complex and development-oriented situations in study and work contexts
- giving the competence to identify one's own needs for learning and structure one's own learning in different learning environments
- giving the competence to design higher level software architectures
Expected learning outcome
The learning objectives of the course are that the student demonstrates the ability to:
- design object-oriented models for concrete problems.
- devise a program structure based on the model.
- implement the planned program in the concrete programming language used.
- find and use adequate elements in the program library belonging to the language.
- plan and execute a testing of the program.
- design and implement recursive solutions of problems.
- design and implement abstract data types.
- use basic tree structures and algorithms for these.
Content
The following main topics are contained in the course:
- The basic structuring tools sequence, repetition, conditional instruction and procedure.
- Fundamental data structures such as lists, maps, and trees.
- Object-oriented programming techniques, including examples and applications.
- Recursion and recursive data structures.
- Examples of abstract data types and their realization.
