Description

This is the first course in a five-part series on Java 2 Programming. The Java platform is based on the idea that the same software should run on many different kinds of computers, consumer products, and other devices. Java software works on any device from mobile phones to supercomputers and is incorporated into all major Web browsers. This first course in the series is designed to give students a basic understanding of Java 2. It provides the knowledge needed to compile, run and distribute a simple Java application. It teaches the features of this programming language, as well as using identifiers, keywords, types, arrays, operators and assignments, and flow control.

Audience

Application Developers, Software Engineers, and Programmer/Analysts are some of the types of people who would benefit from taking this course. Learners should understand object-oriented principles and have created or compiled simple programs such as C or C++ prior to taking this course. In addition to having hands-on experience, students can take the C Programming series (courses 13201-13204) or the C++ Programming series (courses 13205-13208) to help them prepare to take this Java 2 Programming series.

Prerequisites

(Currently no course prerequisite information)

Objective

• Identify the benefits and features of Java, identify the components of a Java program, and install Java 2.
• Identify the source code that contain data types for generating a specific output, codes that contain correctly defined and initialized variables, and compute the result of codes using operators.
• Implement conditional, iterative, and jump flow control statements and arrays.

Topics Include

• Match JDK tools with their functions.
• Identify the type of Java program to be developed in a specified situation.
• Sequence the steps that occur during the DLC of a Java program.
• Create a Java program by using specified code fragments.
• Select the code that correctly uses lexical elements.
• Identify the type of keyword to be used in a specified situation.

Unit 2: Java Programming: Fundamentals

• Specify the appropriate data type for storing specific data in a variable.
• Identify the code that correctly uses the floating-point data type.
• Select the code that correctly uses the character data type.

• Identify the code that correctly uses the String data type.
• Identify the data type of the resultant expression of specified mixed expressions.
• Identify valid variable names in Java.
• Identify the code that correctly initializes a variable.
• Compute the result of the code that uses the unary operator statements.
• Compute the result of the code that uses arithmetic operator statements based on their precedence and associativity.

• Type the result of the Java code that uses the if-else construct.
• Type the result of the Java code that uses the if-else-if construct.
• Compute the result of the Java code that uses the conditional operator.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the switch statement.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the while statement to perform an iterative task.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the do-while statement to perform an iterative task.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the for statement to perform a repetitive task.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the break statement to terminate an iterative loop.
• Identify the result of the Java code that uses the continue statement to skip steps in an iterative loop.
• Identify the features of an array.
