ITC103 Modelling with Objects and Classes (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Computing (COMPU)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
The basic concepts of Object Orientation Systems are Class, Object and Message and these are studied extensively via diagrams, exercises and case studies. Object Diagrams are used to provide an introduction to the more abstract ideas of Classes and Inheritance. To study how an Object Orientation System works, messages are added to an Object Diagram to represent the processing of an example transaction. The main goal of the subject is to produce Class Diagrams that would be adequate to form the basis for further work in a computer project.
