Laboratory (or Other) Hours: 0

Prerequisite(s): CITA 140 - Introduction to Programming I
This course is a study of concepts and problem-solving techniques in an object-oriented programming language. Emphasis is on learning the skills necessary to the development of object-oriented programs. The course covers topics such as Object-oriented Programming, variables, programming rules, looping, branching, and exception handling.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course: Students will be able to:

Compare and contrast Object-Oriented Programming classes and interfaces
Evaluate expressions and apply precedence rules
Identify and apply the different looping statements: for, while, do-while
Differentiate and apply the branching statements: if, if-else, if-else-if, and switch
Define variables, describe the differences between types, and initialize and assign variable values.
