Curriculum Module: Advanced Object-Oriented Concepts

Inheritance establishes a relationship between one or more classes, making it possible to share the structure and/or behavior common to the classes; it is arguably one of the most powerful features of an object-oriented language. This module focuses on the specification form of inheritance. The components of this module include:

  • Interfaces: Motivation, Creation and Use
  • The Standard Java Interfaces: Using the Interfaces
  • Simple Abstract Classes

Note: Curriculum module materials reflect important topics in AP courses, and the materials are meant to provide teachers with resources and classroom ideas. However, curriculum module materials should not be taken as an indication that a particular topic will appear on the AP Exam.
