HIST

You'll find the history of Java to be fascinating. Did you know that the original designer of Java was James Gosling from Calgary, Alberta?

Pop on your earphones and watch and listen to the following flash presentation on the: History of Java from PublicStaticVoidMain.

Programming Exercises To Be Graded (pp 30-31): P1.2, P1.4, P1.6, P1.8.

Make a project for each chapter. Make a package for each exercise within the chapter's project. Place all classes related to the exercise within the package.

Initially, as in this chapter, an exercise may be solved using only one class; thus there would be only one class in a package. In later chapters,however, there are multiple classes in a program that solves an exercise problem. In that event, all classes in such a solution would be in the same package. Here is how to do it.

For each exercise, submit a printed copy of a wordprocessing document containing:

1. Footer
2. Java source code following Horstmann's Styling Guide
3. Identification Header
4. Screen Dump
5. Print on both sides of a sheet of paper, two pages per side == four pages per sheet of paper. See Make Hard Copy of Source Code.

Follow these directions to place line numbers with source code in Eclipse and later in WORD.

Follow these directions on organizing assignments when working with Eclipse.

Learn about encapsulation by studying the Encapsulation Tutorial [csg] [web] retrieved from the web site of North Carolina teacher Ruth Hartsook. Links to source code for this tutorial follows.

Create and automatically generate an ID template. You only need one ID template per program. Do not attach an ID Template to every class. Attach the ID Template only to the class containing the public static void main(String[] args) method, since it is the first line of this method where the program begins to execute. But do indeed attach a Javadoc comment to every other class describing the purpose of the class.

Click here to see how a method can return multiple values by returning an object containing values of multiple instance variables!!

Click here to see pros and cons about whether instance variables (aka "fields of a class") should be declared at the top or bottom of a class.

Study Horstmann's Fundamental Data Types: Chapter 4.

Learn about reading input and writing output using Java's Scanner class by reading the following Java's Scanner Class Overview [csg] [web] retrieved from the web site of North Carolina teacher Ruth Hartsook. Note that the overview is done in Flash. You may copy and paste code from the examples after clicking the capital "I" at the top of the screen, just to the right of the hand icon.

For more more explanation of Primitive Data Types and special "escapte characters", read Kjell's Tutorial 8.

For more more explanation of the Scanner class, read Kjell's Tutorial 10.

Javadoc Comments

1. Give a Javadoc comment describing the purpose of every class.

2. Give a Javadoc comment describing the purpose of every constructor.

3. Give a Javadoc comment describing the purpose of every method.

4. Give the Javadoc tag @param for every paramenter of all constructors and methods.

5. Give the Javadoc tag @return for all methods. Note that constructors do not have return statements.

Though you do not need to know how to create Javadoc files at this point, you may learn how to do so by studying the tutorials in Learn Javadoc.

Study Horstmann's Decisions: Chapter 6.

Pay particular attention to the use of Boolean expressions, pp 213-219, noting that using two Boolean operators such as && or | | short circuits the evaluation whereas using a single Boolean operator such as & or | always evaluates both operands.

Peruse interesting presentations of Boolean Expressions and Short-circuit Operators and Truth Tables and De Morgan's Rules by Bradley Kjell.
