IBCS1 - 1112 - February

Monday - Wednesday (2/27/12 - 2/29/12)

Warmup:

• What is Object-Oriented Programming? Describe in layman's terms.

Agenda:

• Object-Oriented Programming Review
• Parts of a class
  • Class declaration at the top: class CLASSNAME:
  • Initializer: def __init__(self, PARAMS):
    • Give default or initialize values of attributes
  • Methods: def METHODNAME(self, PARAMS):
    • A function inside a class
• Python Class References
  • HTTLACS: Classes: Part 1
  • HTTLACS: Classes: Part 2
  • Python Classes
• Class-wide construction of an object-oriented program
  • Point class example review
• Circle class practice
  • Attribute(s): radius
  • Method(s):
    • __init__(self, radius=0)
    • __str__(self)
    • getRadius(self) - returns the radius of the circle
    • setRadius(self, newRadius) - changes the self.radius to newRadius
    • getDiameter(self) - returns the diameter of the circle
    • getArea(self) - returns the area of the circle
• Rectangle class practice
  • Attribute(s): width, height
  • Method(s):
    • __init__(self, width=0, height=0)
    • __str__(self) - returns a string like "Rectangle WIDTH by HEIGHT"
    • getWidth(self) - returns the width
    • setWidth(self, newWidth) - saves newWidth into self.width
    • getHeight(self) - returns the height
    • setHeight(self, newHeight) - saves newHeight into self.height
    • getArea(self) - returns the area of the rectangle
    • isSquare(self) - returns True if the width is equal to the height, otherwise return False
• Create a Student class with the attributes on the board

Thursday (2/23/12)

Agenda:

• List, nested list, and for loop quiz
