DD1342 Program Construction 6.0 credits

The basics of a modern programming language. The programming language
used is Java.

Computer science concepts.

Modularization and program structuring.

Applications in modelling and simulation.

After completing this course the students will be able to

  * Write small imperative programs.
  * Use control structures and functions.
  * Design and implement simple graphic interfaces.
  * Explain the ADT notion and exemplify its usability.
  * Use ADT:s to solve given programming problems.
  * Describe the MVC model for program structuring and
    how it can be extended to program a physical simulation.
  * Use the extended MVC model to write a program for a given
    pysical simulation or animation.
  * Describe basic concepts in object oriented programming:
    class, object, interface, reference and inheritance.
  * For a given programming task, implement a well modularized
    program where objects are used both as modules and as data.
  * Understand and use program documentation.
  * Discuss programming using computer science terms.

  grades C, D and E will be based on the degree of
  achievement of the learning outcomes above.
 
  For grades A and B:

  * Choose a problem and design and implement a modularized
    program, individually (for grade A) or together with
    another student (grade B).

  For grade A:

  * Write documentation of how to use the program and its modules.
  * Write documentation of the construction process for the program.

and therefore they can

  * effectively use computers in their studies and working life,
  * take other courses in computer science and numerical analysis.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Assignments, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Laboratory assignments (LAB1; 6 university credits).

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Only one of the following courses can be counted in your degree: DD100N, DD1310, DD1311, DD1312, DD1314, DD1315, DD1340, DD1341, DD1342, DD1343, DD1345, DN1212, HI1024, HI1026, ID1004, ID1301.
