JAVA PROGRAMMING
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Corequisites: None
This course introduces computer programming using the JAVA programming language with object-oriented programming principles. Emphasis is placed on event-driven programming methods, including creating and manipulating objects, classes, and using object-oriented tools such as the class debugger.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
a. Design, create, build, and debug Java applications and applets.
b. Apply algorithmic thinking to solve programming problems.
c. Implement syntax rules in Java programs.
d. Explain variables and data types used in program development.
e. Apply arithmetic operations for displaying numeric output.
f. Write and apply decision structures for determining different operations.
g. Write and apply loop structures to perform repetitive tasks.
h. Write user-defined methods.
i. Identify and implement arrays, array lists, and multidimensional arrays.
j. Write Java programs using object-oriented programming techniques including classes, objects, methods, instance variables, composition, inheritance, and polymorphism.
k. Write programs using graphical user interface (GUI) components and Java’s Event Handling Model.
REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS AND MATERIALS:
E-resources to be used by students see http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/index.htm

Basic JAVA classes, packages - Java class hierarchy – Writing complex
programs using Packages, User defined classes and flow control statements.
Activities: 1 -
Java Basic Data Types
Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.
Based on the data type of a variable, the operating system allocates memory and decides what can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to variables, you can store integers, decimals, or characters in these variables.
Activities: 1 -
The statements inside your source files are generally executed from top to bottom, in the order that they appear. Control flow statements, however, break up the flow of execution by employing decision making, looping, and branching, enabling your program to conditionally execute particular blocks of code. This section describes the decision-making statements (
if-then,if-then-else,switch), the looping statements (for,while,do-while), and the branching statements (break,continue,return) supported by the Java programming language.Activities: 0 -

Arrays
An array is a container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type. The length of an array is established when the array is created. After creation, its length is fixed. You have seen an example of arrays already, in the
mainmethod of the "Hello World!" application. This section discusses arrays in greater detail.
An array of 10 elements.
Each item in an array is called an element, and each element is accessed by its numerical index. As shown in the preceding illustration, numbering begins with 0. The 9th element, for example, would therefore be accessed at index 8.
Activities: 2 -
graphical user interface: a software interface designed to standardize and simplify the use of computer programs, as by using a mouse to manipulate text and images on a display screen featuring icons, windows, and menus. Also called GUI.
what is an Applet? It is a very small application, especially a utility program performing one or a few simple functions.
