Description

This is the second course in a five-part series on Java 2 Programming. The Java platform is based on the idea that the same software should run on many different kinds of computers, consumer products, and other devices. Java software works on any device from mobile phones to supercomputers and is incorporated into all major Web browsers. This course teaches learners the general concepts of object-oriented programming and how Java implements these concepts. It also covers designing, creating and using classes; declaration and access control; garbage collection; and inner classes.

Audience

Application Developers, Software Engineers, and Programmer/Analysts are some of the types of people who would benefit from taking this course. Learners should understand object-oriented principles and have created or compiled simple programs such as C or C++ prior to taking this course. In addition to having hands-on experience, students can take the C Programming series (courses 13201-13204) or the C++ Programming series (courses 13205-13208) to help them prepare to take this Java 2 Programming series. Students should have taken the first part of this series (course 86001) prior to taking this course.

Prerequisites

Objective

• Identify the basic concepts of OOP, classes, methods, objects, and garbage collection.
• Implement OOP concepts for developing Java programs.

Topics Include

Unit 1: Classes, Methods, and Objects

• Identify the advantages of OOP.
• Match the OOP design principles with the situations in which they are applied.
• Sequence the steps to declare a class for specific requirements.
• Complete the code to declare a specified method.
• Create an object of a specified class.
• Complete the code to access the data members of a specified object by using the dot notation.
• Determine whether an object belongs to a specified class by using the instanceof operator.
• Identify the value of a variable that is declared multiple times in a program.
• Identify the output of a program that accesses a variable by using the this keyword.
• Match the access specifiers with the situations that use these access specifiers.
• Match the types of modifiers with their functions.
• Declare overloaded methods for a specified class.
• Type the output of the Java program that calls a method by value.
• Type the output of the Java program that calls a method by reference.
• Identify the constructor that is invoked by a specified statement.
• Identify the way in which the garbage collection system works.

Unit 2: OOP: Advanced Concepts

• Complete the code to implement inheritance for a specified class.
• Identify the code that implements method overriding to display a specified output.
• Sequence the constructors that will be invoked in a specified situation.
• Identify the code that implements a specified abstract class.
