Offer 1 with catalog number 1021129BNR for all students in the 1st semester at a (B) Bachelor - advanced level.
This course introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming en the translation of object-oriented models to an implementation (code). The Scala Programming language is used to make these concepts concrete. The following topics are covered in the course:
- Types, type-inferencing
- Classes – objects
- The Scala type hierarchy
- Constructors, constructor arguments, parametric fields
- Class hierarchies
- Polymorfism
- Overriding – overloading, Dynamic binding
- Visibility
- Singleton objects – companion objects
- Type parameters
- Variance, co-variance, contra-variance
- Lower and upper bounds for type parameters
- Traits
- Mix-in Composition versus Multiple Inheritance
- Pattern Matching
- Equality
- Case Classes, Case Objects & Enumerations
- Error and Exception Handling
- Packages
- From OO class diagrams to OO implementations
- Implementing state machine diagrams
Additional information (assistants, contact information, excercises, assignments, ...) can be found on the learning platform.
The material that is used inthe lectures (transparancies) is available on the learning platform.
Knowledge and understanding
-The student knows the different concepts of OO programing concepts and can explain and illustrate them
-The student can explain and illustrate how the different OO concepts occur in the Scala programming language
-The student knows some important patterns to map OO models to OO implementations and can explain and illustrate them
Application of knowledge and understanding
-The student can apply the techniques and principles introduced in the course to write good quality Scala programs
Making judgments
-The student can choose the most suitable implementation for a given application
-The student can argue and comment critically on choices made
Communication
-The student can write a clear report on the course topics and on the programs he/she has written
Learning skills
-The student can use the concepts introduced in this course as a stepping stone to study, understand and apply other OO programming languages independently.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
The final grade is a combination of two parts:
(1) A programming assignment, including a report, must be finished during the semester. The project is mandatory and weights for 40% of the final grade.
(2) A written exam weights for 60% of the final grade. This exam covers both exercises and theoretical questions.
The student must conclude both parts of the evaluation and score at least 7/20 on each part before the weighted average is computed as the final grade. When both parts are concluded but on at least one of the parts the score is lower than 7/20 the final mark will be the minimum of the scores.
