Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate must:

• be able to explain how inheritance and polymorphism contribute to the generalization of problem-solving
• be able to model class diagrams that consist of several classes with aggregation, composition and generalization given a problem
• be able to show how references and objects are connected in a given program
• know key concepts in object-oriented and functional programming and be able to account for these

Skills

The candidate must:

• be able to use inheritance and polymorphism to create flexible, expandable and sustainable solutions
• be able to use and understand the API documentation to find information about classes and methods (D)
• be able to use ready-made methods in the API for sorting and searching in tables and lists
• be able to program an object-oriented solution given a class diagram consisting of several classes with aggregation, composition and generalization
• be able to use professional tools for software development, including AI-based tools, in a critical and reflective manner

The candidate can create a program:

• with the delegation of tasks between objects and where inheritance and polymorphism are used
• with simple graphical user interfaces
