Fall 2009 CS202 Instructor: Karla Fant

Announcements

Karla's Office Hours on Thursday December 10th are 2:30-3:20, due to the final exam schedule. Office hours are in FAB 120-19.

· NEW: EXTRA CREDIT for turning in a Java Program by Monday Dec 7^th. REGULAR CREDIT for Friday December 11^th.

· FRIDAY DECEMBER 11^th IS THE LAST DAY you can turn in any programs (or papers)

· For your Final Exam Schedule…Final Schedule

· You may turn in the term paper late for NO penalty

1. The term paper should talk about your experience with object oriented programming

2. Look back at your first progams. What made them object oriented? What wasn’t object oriented? If you had all of the time in the world, how could you have made a better object oriented design?

· Programs #4 and 5 may be implemented in either order.

· My office hours are every Tuesday and Thursday from 2-2:50pm in FAB 120-19 or by appointment.

· These slides were presented by the Tutors and ACM on 10/2: Tutor Slides

Handwritten Notes

Course Goals

The primary goal in CS202 is to prepare students for programming in the upper division 3xx and 4xx level classes. To achieve this goal, CS202 focuses on three areas: object oriented programming, advanced C++, and Java.

The majority of the term is spent introducing students to object-oriented programming while learning advanced C++ syntax as well as Java syntax. Students will understand the difference between procedural abstraction and object oriented solutions. Students spend the term designing and programming with inheritance hierarchies, with the goal of solving problems efficiently: producing high quality, robust, maintainable as well as efficient object oriented solutions. This provides students with the chance to experience object oriented design and programming at the same time as becoming better acquainted with advanced data structures. C++ skills developed include:

· Single, multiple, virtual inheritance

· copy constructors

· dynamic binding

· function overloading

· operator overloading

· user defined type conversion

· namespaces

· exception handling

· template introduction

Java skills developed include writing two programs using advanced data structures in Java with strict requirements to follow OOP guidelines – all data members private, no friendly access, and complete implementation of functions required to handle issues of deep versus shallow copies and compares. Students learn the relationship between the two languages and the similarity of Java’s references to pointers.

Then, the rest of the term compares Java to C++, where we will work through example projects in both languages.
