Java Classes in Kochi

Is this course right for a Kochi student?

Most Kochi schools follow the Kerala Board (SCERT), with CBSE, ICSE/ISC and Cambridge schools alongside. We teach the CBSE, ICSE/ISC, Cambridge IGCSE, GSEB and NIOS computer subjects, not the SCERT computer paper itself, so this course suits a Kochi student in one of those schools.

What Java covers

The course follows the full syllabus, 9 units.

• Object-Oriented Foundations
  Object-oriented programming paradigm vs procedural; Principles of OOP: data abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism; Objects and classes; class as a composite/user-defined data type; Introduction to Java: applications vs applets, JVM, byte code, compilation process
• Java Language Basics
  Character set, tokens, identifiers, literals; Keywords, escape sequences, ASCII and Unicode; Primitive data types and variables; Type conversion: implicit (coercion) and explicit (casting)
• Control Flow and Iteration
  Conditional statements: if, if-else, nested if, switch-case; Iteration: while, do-while, for loops; Nested loops; Jump statements: break and continue
• Classes, Objects and Methods
  Defining classes, instance variables and methods; Constructors: default and parameterised; constructor overloading; Access specifiers and encapsulation (private data, public accessors); User-defined methods; pure and impure methods; method overloading
• Arrays and Strings
  Single and double dimensional arrays; Array traversal, searching (linear, binary) and sorting (selection, bubble); String class and common methods: length, charAt, substring, indexOf, concat, replace, compareTo, equals; StringBuffer basics; manipulating and comparing strings
• Inheritance and Polymorphism
  Base (super) and derived classes; extends keyword; Member access in derived classes; protected visibility; super keyword; redefinition and method overriding; Abstract classes and abstract methods; the Object class
• Recursion
  Concept of recursion and the call stack; Recursive methods: factorial, GCD, Fibonacci, power; Recursive binary search; Base case vs recursive case; number-base conversions
• Data Structures and Collections
  Stacks, queues and dequeues; implementation via classes; Defining data structures through interfaces with multiple implementations; Singly linked lists: algorithm and implementation; Binary trees and tree traversals (conceptual)

Students from around Kochi

A student anywhere in Kochi can take Java with us — Bhavans, Chinmaya, DHSE or Edappally included — because the class is online and there is no centre to travel to. Kochi sits in Kerala, where the Kerala Board (SCERT) runs alongside the national boards, so we are asked about both.

How Kochi students attend

Every class is live at Indian Standard Time, in a small batch or one-to-one. Nothing is pre-recorded, so a student in Kochi asks questions in the moment, exactly as they would in a classroom. Recordings are provided for revision only.
