14

Course Objectives

• Chapters 1-13. Almost the whole book

• Chapter 13 is I/O and will be covered early on and the rest in the order of the text book

• Chapter 14 is parameters to a program and there is not enough time

15

Misc• Labs are due in class

• Homework submission web page

• Download the JAVA language, environment and documentation

16

Good Study Habits

• Class Attendance / Discussion

• Complete assigned reading

• Homework completed on time

• Study for Tests

• Ask questions about Programming in general and JAVA in specific

17

Grade Determination

• Six Machine Problem Programs MP1-MP6

• Three tests and one Final

• Attendance

• Labs

• Add up the points and divide by the total


18

Compiling

• A solution to a problem can be written in a programming language

• A solved problem is translated into a programming language like JAVA

• Compiling is turning a program into instructions that a computer understands


19

Running Programs

• A compiled program can be run

• This is when a computer actually carries out the instructions


20

Program Structure

• Every JAVA program is a class and the name of the JAVA program is the name of the class


21

The method called main

• Every class program must have a method called main


22

Syntax

• The JAVA syntax tells us

• What is meant by syntax?


23

Identifier syntax

• There is a proper syntax associated with an identifier name (True/False)?

• LetterOrUnderScore followed by one or more LetterOrDigitOrUnderscore


24

Blocks

• Groups of statements are called blocks

• Begin with a {

• and end with a }


25

Style

• It is good programming style to document your programs

• Use constants also known as final values

• Doesn’t change the outcome of the program

• What does good style achieve?


26

Examples

• See an example on the web of a simple program

• http://courses.wccnet.org/~bgoldber/course/JAVAS03/inc/Hello.java


27

Lab 1

• In this simple exercise you will learn to make your first program.
