Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, you will be able to design and implement programming solutions using key principles of object-oriented programming, such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. You will understand the structure of classes and objects and their role in program functionality, and be able to create and manage your own classes in programming tasks. You will be able to apply object-oriented programming concepts such as constructors, static variables, and methods, and you will master the relationships between superclass and subclass. You will be equipped to solve programming problems with a structured and modular approach, using algorithmic thinking and efficient code management. During the course, you will also develop the ability to analyze programming problem domains and implement functional, extensible, and maintainable software systems using object-oriented programming methods.
