Aim
The students shall learn how to write small and medium-sized computer programs and attain basic knowledge of object-oriented programing and the programming language Java.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

be able to explain fundamental concepts in object-oriented and imperative programming
be able to explain and give examples of use of fundamental algorithms, e.g., for searching and sorting
be able to describe and give examples of use of fundamental data structures such as arrays and matrices.

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

be able to develop and implement algorithms so solve simple problems
be able to implement Java classes from given specifications
be able to develop a model of a small system, using classes and methods
be able to uses tools to write, test and debug programs
be able to read program code and program documentation.

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

be able to go further on his own in the field of object-oriented programming.

Contents
Basic program constructs, development of elementary algorithms, usage of library classes, testing and debugging. Arrays, searching and sorting. Implementation of classes, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. Fundamentals of modelling.
