Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 22 Problem Solving An important skill used in programming

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 23 Programming Languages A solved problem is translated into a programming language like JAVA JAVA is known as a high-level language also called a program, piece of code or coding

24 Problem Solving In this simple exercise you will learn to make an Algorithm for Membership Identification Cards and new Member Handbooks JAVA/misc/Cards.htm

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 25 Compiling Recall a solution to a problem can be written in a programming language Compiling is turning a program into instructions that a computer understands

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 26 Running Programs A compiled program can be run This is when a computer actually carries out the instructions

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 27 Program Structure Every JAVA program is a class and the name of the JAVA program is the name of the class

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 28 The Function called Main Every class program must have a function called main

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 29 Syntax The JAVA syntax tells us What is meant by syntax?

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 30 Identifier syntax There is a proper syntax associated with an identifier name (True/False)? LetterOrUnderScore followed by one or more LetterOrDigitOrUnderscore

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 31 Blocks Groups of statements are called blocks Begin with a { and end with a }

Part-time Instructor - Brian Goldberg 32 Style It is good programming style to document your programs Use constants Doesn’t change the outcome of the program What does good style achieve?
