•
•
•
•
•
Class Attendance / Discussion
Complete assigned reading
Homework completed on time
Study for Tests
Ask questions about Programming in
general and JAVA in specific
16
Grade Determination
•
•
•
•
•
Six Machine Problem Programs MP1-MP6
Three tests and one Final
Attendance
Labs
Add up the points and divide by the total
17
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
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
18
Running Programs
• A compiled program can be run
• This is when a computer actually carries out
the instructions
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
19
Program Structure
• Every JAVA program is a class and the
name of the JAVA program is the name of
the class
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
20
The method called main
• Every class program must have a method
called main
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
21
Syntax
• The JAVA syntax tells us
• What is meant by syntax?
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
22
Identifier syntax
• There is a proper syntax associated with an
identifier name (True/False)?
• LetterOrUnderScore followed by one or
more LetterOrDigitOrUnderscore
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
23
Blocks
• Groups of statements are called blocks
• Begin with a {
• and end with a }
Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg
24
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?
