CS1101: Course Description
“This module introduces the
fundamental concepts of programming
from an object-oriented perspective,
and is perceived as the first and
foremost introductory course to
computing.”
What's in store in CS1101?
No prior experience
is assumed.

CS1101: Objectives
 Learning about programming methodology
and principles, using the object-oriented
model.
 Outcomes:
 Know how to solve simple algorithmic problems.
 Know how to write good small programs.
 JAVA is merely a tool.
 This is not a course on just JAVA alone!

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


The fundamental OOP concept:
An object-oriented program uses
objects.
Demo on BlueJ:
 Illustrate concepts of object and class
 Creation of objects
 Sending messages to objects

13
Objects and classes (1/2)

Object-oriented language


Objects




Models real-world objects you find in everyday life.
Represent ‘things’ from the real world, or from some problem
domain (“that red 1200cc Honda car”, “my 2-year old Persian
cat with a short tail”).
Have name, state (set of values for its attributes) and
behaviors (via methods).
Perform actions or interact by sending messages.
Classes


Represent all objects of a kind (“car”, “cat”).
A class is a model/blueprint/prototype for an object. An object
is an ‘instance’ of a class. Many instances (objects) can be
created from a single class.

14
Objects and classes (2/2)


Class is a concept; object is a concrete entity.
A class defines what attributes an object has, but
each object stores it own set of values, which
contribute its state.


Example: PlayingCards is a class, whose properties are
rank and suit. The queen of clubs and nine of diamonds are
two instances (objects) of this class.
New class (type of objects) can be derived from an
existing class.

Superclass and subclass: the subclass extends/specializes
the functionality of the superclass and inherits the properties
and behaviors of the superclass.

BlueJ






Designed at Monash University, Australia.
Runs on top of Sun Microsystems’ Java Development
Kit (JDK).
Provides an Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) with editor, compiler and debugger.
Simple user interface, easy to use. Do not need to
write complete application.

BlueJ: State (1/2)

State: the set of values of all the attributes of an
object.
Right click on the
circle1 object and
select the Inspect
function.

24
BlueJ: State (2/2)

Objects of the same class have the same
fields/attributes. But each object may have it own set
of values for its attributes.
State of circle1 object.
Fields:
int diameter
int xPosition
int yPosition
String Color
boolean isVisible
