Object-Oriented Programming

Time

September 09, 10.15-12.00

Subject

This seminar covers primitive data types, commands, control structures, expressions, and operators in Java. These parts are found in most programming languages and are not particular connected to the object-oriented programming paradigm or the Java programming language. 

Readings

There is quite a lot of material to read for this seminar, however, it is both fairly concrete and straight forward, when you have a C background (as you have from the basis-education).

"Thinking in Java" Chapter 2. You may give low priority to the sections "Comments and Embedded Documentation" and "Coding Style" pp. 97-103. However, you should read these sections before starting to write code for your project.

"Thinking in Java" Chapter 3. You may skip the sections "Bitwise Operators" and "Shift Operators" pp. 122-127, section "A Compendium of Operators" pp. 134-144, section "The Infamous 'goto'" pp 152-157.
