Introduction to Computer Science for Multidisciplinary Studies II is a continuation of the course

Introduction to Computer Science for Multidisciplinary Studies I. The course focuses on object-oriented
analysis and design of small-scale computational systems and their implementation using an object-
oriented language. The course also emphasizes issues of design, modularization and programming style.
Object-oriented analysis and design
Object-oriented analysis and design is a methodology for designing software systems. It involves the
identification of objects in a system, and how they interact with each other. Object-oriented analysis
and design is a powerful tool for designing complex systems because it allows for the creation of
modular, reusable components. These components can be tested and modified independently of the
rest of the system.
Object-oriented language
An object-oriented language is a programming language that supports object-oriented programming. In

object-oriented programming, a program is made up of objects that interact with each other. The
objects are instances of classes, which define the behavior and properties of the objects. Object-
oriented programming provides a powerful framework for designing complex systems because it allows
for the creation of reusable components that can be tested and modified independently of the rest of
the system.
Design
Design is the process of creating a plan or blueprint for a system. Design is an important part of software
development because it ensures that the system will meet the requirements of the users. Design also
ensures that the system will be easy to maintain and modify in the future.
Modularization
Modularization is the process of breaking a system down into smaller, more manageable components.
Modularization is an important part of software design because it allows for the creation of reusable
components that can be tested and modified independently of the rest of the system. Modularization
also makes it easier to maintain and modify a system in the future.
Programming style
Programming style is the way in which a programmer writes code. Programming style is important
because it affects the readability, maintainability, and performance of the code. Good programming
style involves using descriptive variable and function names, using comments to explain the code, and
following established coding conventions.
Inheritance
Inheritance is a powerful feature of object-oriented programming. Inheritance allows for the creation of
new classes that are based on existing classes. The new class inherits the properties and behavior of the
existing class, and can modify or extend them as needed. Inheritance is a powerful tool for creating
reusable components because it allows for the creation of new classes that are based on existing, tested
classes.
Polymorphism
Polymorphism is another powerful feature of object-oriented programming. Polymorphism allows for

the creation of objects that can take on different forms. This means that a single object can be used in
different ways depending on the context in which it is used. Polymorphism is a powerful tool for creating
flexible and reusable components because it allows for the creation of objects that can be used in a
variety of different ways.
Abstraction
Abstraction is the process of simplifying a complex system by focusing on the most important features.
Abstraction is an important part of software design because it allows for the creation of more
manageable components. Abstraction also makes it easier to understand and modify a system in the
future.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation is the process of hiding the implementation details of a system from the user.
Encapsulation is an important part of software design because it allows for the creation of more secure
and maintainable systems. Encapsulation also makes it easier to modify the implementation details of a
system without affecting the user interface.
Testing
Testing is an important part of software development. Testing involves the creation of test cases that
are designed to ensure that the system meets the requirements of the user. Testing also ensures that
the system is free from bugs and other errors.
Conclusion
Introduction to Computer Science for Multidisciplinary Studies II is a course that emphasizes object-
oriented
