Course Description

The course aims at teaching students the principles and concepts of object-oriented programming. How to use object-oriented programming to solve problems and scientific and practical issues in advanced applications.  

Course Contents

$ Object-Oriented Programming characteristics: objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism.
$ Classes’ declaration: Range, scope, functions and properties.
$ Starting classes’ objects: the constructor, the multiplicity of the constructors
$ Aggregation, Garbage collection, fixed classes’ variables, Indexes.
$ inheritance: concepts, scope of classes’s variables, constructor and destructor in Inheritance.
$ Polymorphism, visual functions, functions instantiation, abstract functions, abstract objects, multiple definition of operators.
$ Exception handling: exceptions types, transferring exceptions control in functions, "catch" and "try" statements.  

Course Outcomes

Upon finishing this course, the student should:
$ Know about the fundamentals of OO programming.
