Syllabus

Lecture 1

Lecture 2

Lecture 3

Lecture 4 | ArrayIllustration.java (I realized while lecturing that I meant to name my variable centripetalForce, not centripetalAcc. I don't want your physics professors mad at me and blaming the CS department for corrupting its students!)

Lecture 5

Lecture 7 | oobasics.zip

Review Quiz (PDF) | Review Quiz (DOC) [not actually graded but please do it -- so you can review your skills and know where you might be lacking]
Review Quiz Key | ModeExample.java

For homework 1 we will be using a successful first assignment from Andree's class last semester - "The Visualizer"
Homework 1 | Display.java (Due Friday, 9/3)
I don't have an SVN repository set up yet to run code check outs like he did, so you can ignore the stuff near the end about setting that up. All the code you need is this Display.java. Place it in the package you have your file (the TA's should have explained the package structure for turning in assignments) and change the 'package' label at the top of Display.java to match. This week you will turn in your homework assignment to your section's TA via EMAIL. Your TA will have instructions on 8/31 in class on how to name your class and turn in the assignment.

Programming Terms

Using correct software development and programming terminology is important in our profession. The above list includes the terms that we have covered thus far in the course, and you are expected to know what they mean (unless otherwise listed below).

I want to formally keep track of the things I say that I won't be testing this semester:

Details of bits and bytes (ranges and byte sizes of Java's primitive data types however are fair game though). How to convert binary to decimal and vice versa, and other bit/byte-related topics are beyond the scope of this class.
Bitwise operators (<< >> >>> & | ^ ~ &= |= ^= <<= >>= >>>=). Similar to the above, this is out of the scope of this class.
Ternary operator (?:)
Prefix/postfix increment/decrement operators (++, --)
