2. analyse, write and explain programs that define classes and use objects of those classes.
3. analyse, write and explain programs that utilise inheritance and polymorphism.
4. analyse, write and explain programs that use parts of a platform API to perform file-based I/O, event handling and display of simple graphical components.
5. demonstrate an understanding of the programming constructs and techniques introduced in this module.
