Basic concepts of object-oriented programming; the Java programming language; problem analysis; specification and implementation of solutions; linear data structures, including dynamic implementations. Content and teaching methods Interface, class, object, instance Primitive types, values, variables, assignment Expressions Instruction types Methods, parameters, results, and method calls Specifications Creation of instances, object references Class variables, instance variables, local variables and their scope Polymorphism Visibility attributes of classes and variables Class extension and inheritance Exception mechanisms Files and input-output operations on files Arrays : linear and multi-dimensional Variable-length arrays Linked list implementations Use of packages Graphical user interfaces and evend-driven programming

AIMS At the end of this course, students should be able - to demonstrate their understanding of the basic concepts and the methodology of object-oriented programming - to use the major elements contained in an object-oriented language such as Java in an appropriate way - ton analyze a simple problem, to propose an algorithmic solution for this problem and to program the solution in Java.

An intermediary evaluation takes place at mid-term. The mark obtained for this evaluation accounts for 1/3 of the final mark, only if it is superior to the mark obtained during the exam. The end-term exam aims to assess both the understanding of the course material and the capacity to apply it to correctly write simple Java programs.

The chosen teaching method relies on active student participation in their own learning process. The specific modalities of the active learning approach used in the course are left to the initiative of the course teachers, within the framework of the pedagogical choices made by the school of Engineering.
