Students are given a solid introduction to libraries and interfaces, the Java standard library, helper classes and documentation.
Unit content
-
Variables, wrappers, and maths
-
Arrays and loops
-
Strings and dates

Exception handling and garbage collection
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | modify and expand short object-oriented programs that use standard control structures |
| 2 | design, implement, test, and debug simple programs in an object-oriented programming language |
| 3 | demonstrate how to use class mechanisms to support encapsulation and efficient code |
| 4 | analyse and determine appropriate data structures and iteration methods to support a solution |
