CS2304 PROGRAMMING PARADIGMS 5th semester Anna University Syllabus

CS2304 PROGRAMMING PARADIGMS                           

Aim: To understand the concepts of object-oriented, event driven, and concurrent programming paradigms and develop skills in using these paradigms using Java.

Unit I  Object-oriented Programming – Fundamentals                               

Review of OOP - Objects and classes in Java – defining classes – methods - access specifiers – static members – constructors – finalize method – Arrays – Strings - Packages – JavaDoc comments

Unit II  Object-oriented Programming – Inheritance                                    

Inheritance – class hierarchy – polymorphism – dynamic binding – final keyword – abstract classes – the Object class – Reflection – interfaces – object cloning – inner classes – proxies

Unit III Event-Driven Programming                                                                   

Graphics programming – Frame – Components – working with 2D shapes – Using color, fonts, and images - Basics of event handling – event handlers – adapter classes – actions – mouse events – AWT event hierarchy – introduction to Swing – Model-View-Controller design pattern – buttons – layout management – Swing Components

Unit IV  Generic Programming                                                                           

Motivation for generic programming – generic classes – generic methods – generic code and virtual machine – inheritance and generics – reflection and generics – exceptions – exception hierarchy – throwing and catching exceptions – Stack Trace Elements - assertions - logging

Unit V  Concurrent Programming                                                                     

Multi-threaded programming – interrupting threads – thread states – thread properties – thread synchronization – thread-safe Collections – Executors – synchronizers – threads and event-driven programming
