Object oriented concepts and language constructs such as inheritance, interface, nested classes, exceptions, generics, lambda expressions and streams. Important general interfaces such as Iterable, Comparable and Comparator. Common abstract data types such as lists, stacks, FIFO queues, priority queues, sets, and map sand their corresponding interfaces and classes in the Java API. Data structures such as linked lists, binary trees, heaps, and hash tables, and how they can be used to implement fundamental abstract data types. Recursion as a technique to construct and implement algorithms, techniques such as dynamic programming and backtracking. Orientation on frameworks for graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming. Introduction to using tools for testing. Introduction to techniques for analysing the time complexity of algorithms.
Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: For final grades, approved compulsory laboratory work, approved assignments and an approved written exam are required. The final grade for the course is based on the result of the written examination.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
