Object Oriented Programming
developing abstractions of the real world!
So far we have been designing computer programs using built-in, basic data types such as:
- int
- double
- boolean
- long
These are known as primitive data types and they are very basic, built in to the Java language.
But we can design our own data types and that is what we will be doing in this course.
This course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of Object Oriented Programming including, but not limited to,
- designing (and instantiating instances of) classes
- encapsulation and data hiding
- designing methods - constructor, accessor, mutator
- polymorphism (including method over-riding and method over-loading)
- inheritance
- arraylists/collections in Java
