This course is an Advanced variation on Structured Programming (COMP1110 ). It covers the same topics in more depth, requiring additional contact hours to allow students to deepen their understanding and experience of software development. Students will use, apply, and deploy structured programming techniques in a diverse range of application domains.
As the advanced version of the course the first six Learning Outcomes are the same as for COMP1110.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Apply fundamental programming concepts, using an object oriented programming language, to solve substantial problems.
- Understand basic types and the benefits of static typing for object oriented programs.
- Develop, understand, test, and evolve substantial programs using a modern IDE, and associated configuration tools; understand common coding errors and how to avoid them; practice fundamental defensive programming; perform individual and team program reviews; use established design principles to organize a software system.
- Use, execute and evaluate fundamental data structures and associated algorithms; create, implement, debug, and evaluate algorithms for solving substantial problems; implement an abstract data type.
- Apply basic algorithmic analysis to simple algorithms; use appropriate algorithmic approaches to solve problems.
- Deliver and evaluate basic technical documents, presentations, and group interactions, using appropriate tools.
- Explain the relationship between object-oriented inheritance (code-sharing and overriding) and subtyping (the idea of a subtype being usable in a context that expects the supertype).
- Use object-oriented encapsulation mechanisms such as interfaces and private members, and define and use iterators and other operations over aggregate values that take functions as arguments.
- Define and use program pieces (such as functions, classes, methods) that use generic types, including for collections.
- Explain how programming language implementations typically organize memory into global data, text, heap, and stack sections and how features such as recursion and memory management map to this memory model.
- Discuss the benefits and limitations of garbage collection, including the notion of reachability.

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
