Course Overview Software design and implementation Object oriented programming with java Preliminary data structures & algorithms Refer to course page for syllabus Prerequisites: 1301 or 1301L Textbook: Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java by Mark Allen Weiss 3 rd Edition

Grading Written Assignments/Quizzes – 10% Programming Assignments- 45% Midterm – 15% Final – 30% Optional homework – 0% Attendance is optional –You are still responsible for all materials covered in lectures

Programming Assignments 6-7 assignments Java in Unix environment To be done individually Tested for correctness with several test cases Small credit for design and coding style Assignments may be chained

Late and Cheating Policies All assignments are due by 11:59 PM 10% penalty for each late day Zero points if late by more than 3 days Proper documentation needed for health- related reasons Cheating cases handed over to academic honesty department Minimum penalty – F grade with note in transcript No copying from web or other sources

Basics of Java Programming Compiling programs –javac FirstProgram.java Executing programs –java FirstProgram Set the “path” variable –See the “resources” page –Will be covered in next week

A Simple Program

Primitive Types

Operators Assignment operators =, +=, -=, *=, /= Binary Arithmetic Operators +, -, *, /, % Unary Operators ++, -- Type conversions a = (double) x/y;

Operators (Contd.) Relational & equality operators ==, !=,, >= Logical Operators !, &&, ||

Branching and Looping if-else construct while construct for construct do-while construct break and continue switch statement conditional operator

Methods A unit of code with a specific functionality Header consists of a name, list of parameters and return type Transfer of control-flow during function invocation and return call-by-value parameter passing Overloading methods – Multiple functions with same name but different parameters
