About this Unit
This unit is intended as a second unit of study in programming. It builds on a basic understanding of procedural programming as would be developed in a first unit. This unit continues the development of programming skills and methodologies required for professional programming and for further study in later computing units. Topics covered include multi-dimensional arrays, file I/O, searching and sorting, and an introduction to object-oriented programming involving classes and inheritance. Students in this advanced unit will also investigate and apply advanced concepts such as function overloading and recursion.
