ICTPRG430 — Apply introductory object-oriented language skills

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• Select and use three language data types, three operators and three expressions
• Use correct language syntax for one sequence, one selection and two iteration constructs
• Use a modular approach to implement the logic for one object operation
• Implement a class that uses arrays of primitive data types twice.
• Read from and write to one text file
• Implement two classes that each contain four instance variables
• Implement one class that contains two options for object construction
• Implement one class that uses user-defined object aggregation
• Implement polymorphism once for code extensibility
• Use one debugging tool
• Apply code and documentation conventions that specify at least 3 aspects, according to organisational requirements
• Perform and document two unit test cases

Knowledge evidence

• Processes and techniques related to object-oriented programming, including the concepts and language
• Syntax language rules, data types structures
• Primitive instance variables
• Class variables
• Small-size application development processes
• Polymorphism and inheritance
• Debugging and testing approaches and techniques
• Constructors
• Object aggregation
• Sequence, selection and iteration constructs
• Organisational documentation

Foundation skills

• Reading: Evaluates, and integrates, information and ideas to construct meaning and selects, and applies reading strategies in relation to design specifications, coding standards, and coding- language documentation
• Writing: Communicates relationships between ideas and information, in a style appropriate to the audience and purpose, and selects the vocabulary, grammatical structures and conventions appropriate to the text, in relation to coding, recording outcomes, and documenting activities
• Numeracy: Selects from, and flexibly applies, mathematical and problem-solving strategies and techniques, in a programming context Uses formal written mathematical language and representation, in the context of programming
• Navigate the world of work: Recognises and follows, explicit and implicit standard and meets expectations associated with own role when developing code that is compliant with standards and guidelines
• Get the work done: Uses a formal decision-making process, identifying and evaluating several choices against a limited set of criteria, when selecting language data types, operators and expressions Evaluates the effectiveness of decisions, in terms of how well they meet the stated design specifications Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action when debugging Utilises features within applications in order to develop software programs Recognises, and uses language and symbols, when applying the coding syntax Actively identifies systems, devices and applications with the potential to meet current and future needs regarding programming
