a small object oriented programming language. Introduction to Jeroo a small object oriented programming language.

A category or a class of an animal that can do things…. The Jeroo Program simulates how to create and use Java objects to perform tasks…. While having fun! What is a Jeroo? A category or a class of an animal that can do things….

Jeroo’s World - Santong Island Located in an uninhabited land in the South Pacific Ocean A Jeroo is similar to the Wallabies in Austrailia

Behaviors/Methods of a Jeroo Object

Jeroo Behaviors (methods) hop() toss() pick() plant() turn() Attibutes (facts associated with aJeroo object similar to a wallaby poor swimmers careless has a pouch telepathic

What is a Program?

A set of instructions for a computer

A Computer Program is written in a programming language. Java C++ C# Visual Basic Python

Source Code Set of instructions written by a programmer in a programming language.

Source Code: hop(); pick(); plant();

A computer program requires a compiler to translate a program as a whole from one form into another.

the 2-Step process...

A compiler translates the source code to an intermediate language An intermediate language is the language of an abstract machine to aid in the analysis of computer programs A compiler translates the source code to an intermediate language

Step 2 The Interpreter translates the intermediate language to Binary (1’s and 0’s)

An Interepreter translates a program into Machine Language

Every Program starts with a Plan called an algorithm. Problem: how will I get a Jeroo object to move forward three steps? hop(); Steps to solve a problem.
