Topics include variables, assignment, expressions, operators, booleans, conditionals, characters and strings, control loops, arrays, objects and classes, file input/output, interfaces, recursion, lists, and sorting. CS164: Java (CS1) Prior Programming Computer programming in Java for students with previous programming experience, not necessarily in Java. Topics include variables, assignment, expressions, operators, booleans, conditionals, characters and strings, control loops, arrays, objects and classes, file input/output, interfaces, recursion, lists, and sorting. Learn the differences at CS Programming Class Selection Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Read and (mentally) parse straightforward Java code, and predict the flow of control and program output. Design, build, and verify Java programs of moderate size with several classes, as measured by the ability to write Java programs with 200‐300 lines of code. Test and debug Java programs, including code written by themselves or by others. Use the Linux operating system and IntelliJ development tool to achieve the previous goals. Comprehend the basics of object-oriented computer programming in the context of the Java language. Decompose and solve programming problems; implement basic algorithms for searching and sorting. 16 Week Schedule Unit 1 Module Topics Module 1: Fundamentals Module 2: Objects Methods Strings Conditionals Module 3: Loops Code Tracing Module 4: Exam 1 Unit 2 Module Topics Module 5: Data Types Classes Common Classes Module 6: Logical Operators More Loops More Methods Module 7: Arrays File Input Module 8: Exam 2 Unit 3 Module Topics Module 9: File Output Exceptions More Classes Module 10: More Branching Two-Dimensional Arrays Introduction to recursion Module 11: Inheritance ArrayList Unified Modeling Language Module 12: Exam 3 Unit 4 Module Topics Module 13: Abstract Classes and Interfaces Polymorphic Life Module 14: Recursion Searching and Sorting Collections Module 15: Review Module 16: Final Exam Please consult the university Final Exam Schedule for the final exam.
