Student Performance

Review of control structures and data types with emphasis on structured data types. Applies the object-oriented programming paradigm, focusing on the definition and use of classes along with the fundamentals of object-oriented design. Includes basic analysis of algorithms, searching and sorting techniques, and an introduction to software engineering.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

• demonstrate good logic design using only sequence, selection, and repetition logic structures;
• demonstrate effective use of recursion;
• demonstrate an understanding of software engineering principles applied to specification, design, coding, and program correctness;
• design several abstract data types (with much greater complexity than those designed in COSC 1436) and class types in such a way that each type has a set of operations and a set of values (what) that can be used independently of knowledge of implementation (how);
• implement several designs of a given abstract data type;
• and to demonstrate fluency in the Java programming language.
