Lecture0 by Tony - Koo

This document provides an introduction to the AP Computer Science A exam and course. It discusses the following key points: 1. The AP Computer Science A exam and course focus on fundamental programming concepts using the Java language, algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles. 2. Java was chosen as the language because it is beginner friendly, mature, has a huge library and community support, and aims to write once run anywhere (WORA). 3. Object oriented programming (OOP) is introduced, which describes solving problems by modeling real-world objects and their interactions in a program.

What is OOP?
• OOP, Object Oreinted Programming

• Everything in the real world can be


abstracted as an object in program

• The state is described with the


properities of an object

• The features and behaviors are defined


as methods of an object

• Solving problem is treated as the


interaction of diferent objects involved in
the domain
Promise of JAVA: WORA
“Write once run anywhere!”
