22MCA22 Object Oriented Programming Using Java syllabus for MCA

OOPS CONCEPTS AND JAVA PROGRAMMING:

OOP concepts: Classes and objects, data abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, benefits of inheritance, polymorphism, procedural and object oriented programming paradigm. Java programming: History of java, comments data types, variables, constants, scope and life time of variables, operators, operator hierarchy, expressions, type conversion and casting, enumerated types, control flow statements, jump statements, simple java stand alone programs, arrays, console input and output, formatting output, constructors ,methods, parameter passing, static fields and methods, access control, this reference, overloading methods and constructors, recursion, garbage collection, exploring string class.

MULTIPLE INHERITANCE:

Inheritance: Inheritance hierarchies, super and subclasses, member access rules, super keyword, preventing inheritance: final classes and methods, the object class and its methods; Polymorphism: dynamic binding, method overriding, abstract classes and methods;

INTERFACES AND PACKAGES:

Interface: Interfaces VS Abstract classes, defining an interface, implement interfaces, accessing implementations through interface references, extending interface; Packages: Defining, creating and accessing a package, understanding CLASSPATH, importing packages.

EXCEPTION HANDLING:

Exception Handling: Benefits of exception handling, the classification of exceptions , exception hierarchy, checked exceptions and unchecked exceptions, usage of try, catch, throw, throws and finally, rethrowing exceptions, exception specification, built in exceptions, creating own exception sub classes.

GUI PROGRAMMING AND APPLETS:

GUI Programming with Java: The AWT class hierarchy, introduction to swing, swings Vs AWT, hierarchy for swing components.Containers: JFrame, JApplet, JDialog, Jpanel, overview of some swing components: JButton, JLabel, JTextField, JTextArea, simple applications.Layout management: Layout manager types, border, grid and flow. Applets: Inheritance hierarchy for applets, differences between applets and applications, life cycle of an applet, passing parameters to applets.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

• The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
• The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 50% of the maximum marks.
• Minimum passing marks in SEE is 40% of the maximum marks of SEE.
• A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 50% (50 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation:

1. Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks

2. Two assignments each of 20 Marks or one Skill Development Activity of 40 marks to attain the COs and POs The sum of three tests, two assignments/skill Development Activities, will be scaled down to 50 marks CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.

Semester End Examination:

1. The SEE question paper will be set for 100 marks and the marks scored will be proportionately reduced to 50.

2. The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.

3. Each full question is for 20 marks. There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub-questions) from each module.

4. Each full question will have a sub-question covering all the topics under a module.

5. The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module

Skill Development Activities Suggested

• The students with the help of the course teacher can take up technical –activities which will enhance their skill or the students should interact with industry (small, medium and large), understand their problems or foresee what can be undertaken for study in the form of research/testing/projects, and for creative and innovative methods to solve the identified problem. The prepared report shall be evaluated for CIE marks.

Course outcome (Course Skill Set)

At the end of the course the student will be able to :

CO1 Use object oriented programming concepts to solve real world problems. L1

CO2 Explain the concept of class and objects with access control to represent real world entities L1

CO3 Describe the concept of interface and abstract classes to define generic classes. L2

CO4 Demonstrate the implementation of inheritance (multilevel, hierarchical and multiple) by using extend and implement keywords. L2

CO5 Demonstrate the user defined exceptions by exception handling keywords ( try, catch, throw, throws and finally) L2

CO6 Understand the process of graphical user interface design and implementation using AWT or swings. L2

CO7 Use different layouts (Flow Layout, Boarder Layout, Grid Layout, Card Layout) to position the controls for developing graphical user interface. L2
