COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:
Java is an object oriented programming
language which features economy of expression, modern control flow and data
structures, and a rich set of operators. The course will explore these features
through a variety of programming assignments. This course is for students
and professional programmers whose needs include applications packages and/or
systems software in software environments where efficiency and portability
are important. Java and all Java-based marks are trademarks or registered
trademarks of Sun Microsystems Inc.
This course covers programming using the Java Programming Language. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to read and understand verbal and symbolic statements and translate these into working computer models.
- Construct a simple working Java program using the correct structure of the language
- Identify valid names for constants and variables. List the Java data types and their attributes. Compare and contrast the differences between data types. Create programs that assign appropriate data types based on a problem definition.
- Construct programs that use Scanner and Console.out for input and output with a Java program. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. Apply redirection to console programs to modify the source and destination of data.
- Describe the operation of each arithmetic, relational, and logical operator. Construct truth tables for simple and complex formulas containing multiple logical operators. Calculate the result of variables when use pre- and post- increments and decrements. Compute the resultant modifications to data when the data is converted from one data type to another.
- Describe how arithmetic and logical operators can be combined with the assignment operator to form new operators. Construct expressions utilizing the assignment operators. List the order of precedence for evaluating expressions. Evaluate expressions utilizing expressions having multiple levels of precedence with and without parentheses.
- Formulate solutions to simple and complex programming problems using combinations of logical operators as conditional expressions as part of if, elseif, and else statements. Convert if/elseif sequence of statements to switch statements. Compare and contrast the different organizations of code when implemented as if/elseif statements vs. case statements.
- Create programs that contain loop structures. Select the appropriate while or do-while structure for a given problem. Compare the use of a for statement to a while statement when used in counting loops. Construct solutions using priming reads and sentinel values when the amount of data is unknown.
- Organize a solution to a large program by breaking the program into smaller parts. Describe how data can be passed to and from functions and procedures using argument lists. Describe how functions return integer and non-integer variables. Compare and contrast the use of external variables to variables passed as arguments. Identify the scope and visibility of variables internal and external to a function. Explain the rules of static variables as applied to variables internal and external to a function. Compare and contrast the use of register variables to automatic variables. Demonstrate the use of functions as programming blocks.
- Organize data into single and multidimensional arrays. Use index notation to initialize and access data. Diagram and use pointers to access data in arrays. Use an array of pointers to functions to select a function to be activated.
- Organize different data types into a record using the struct statement. Create arrays of structures. Access data in arrays of structures. Diagram the use of pointers to structures and their data members. Compare and contrast the use of pointers to indexing when accessing data in arrays of structures. Create and utilize pointers to functions. Utilize unions and typedefs statements to create multiple methods of accessing data and new data types.
- Define an object-oriented class. Create objects as instances of a class. Create and utilize member constructor and destructor functions. Compare the use of the constructors and destructors to functions external to the class definition. Create arrays of objects and access the objects utilizing index and pointer notation. Describe how the assignment and copy constructors are implemented in Java.

MOODLE:
Moodle may contain class notes, PowerPoint slides,
class announcements, the course syllabus, test dates, and other information
for the course. Lab assignments and homework must be submitted using Moodle.
The assignments must have your name, student ID, and exercise name at the
top of the document. Late assignments will be accepted with a penalty. Make
sure you can login to your Moodle account the first week of class. If you
are adding the class, your Moodle account should be active within two hours
of your completed add request. Supplementary information for the course on
Moodle.
E-MAIL:
All students are required to obtain an e-mail account in addition to their
Moodle account. All correspondence through Moodle uses the e-mail address
that you have listed with the Admissions and Records office. This includes
any messages that I send to the class as well as scores for each assignment.
It is important that you update your e-mail address if it changes. If
you have any questions about the course or need assistance, please contact
me in person or by telephone during office hours or by e-mail at any time.
You can update your e-mail address
by clicking the "CLICK HERE" message on the purple rectangle when
you go to the MyWeb page at https://myweb.sjeccd.edu
(NOTE the 'S' in https, and the 'E' in sjeccd). If you have an e-mail filter
for spam, etc., it is your responsibility to make sure that you are receiving
the e-mails that I send you, either from my college address Dan.McElroy@sjcc.edu,
or e-mails sent through Moodle.
ACCESS TO CAMPUS COMPUTER LABS:
San Jose City College has many
computer labs on campus. The labs used by the CIS and CA departments have
all of the software installed that you will need to complete the class assignments.
Most of the other labs on campus will have Microsoft Office installed, but
may not have a Java compiler installed. You need to be an SJCC registered
student to use the computers in the Library. You may need to be registered
for tutoring to use the LRC labs. Other labs serve different departments on
campus. You may need to be registered in one of their classes to use their
labs.
LAB ASSIGNMENTS:
Some of the lab assignments will take longer than the
time available during class. It is expected that each student will make use
of the Open-Lab time to complete assignments as needed. Open-Lab hours are
made available to students registered in CIS courses. Instructions will be
given during the first class meeting on how to use the open lab.
Programs turned in must include printouts of both the program and the results of testing the program. Some labs may require that a disk be turned in as part of the assignment. Programs will be graded on whether they work, quality of output, program readability and appearance, program construction and completeness of testing, and very importantly - documentation.
LAB REPORTS:A lab report form is available on Moodle. Each lab report must include:
1. Your name, class, and date
2. A written description of the lab project in English
3. A list of inputs, processing and outputs for each program
4. Test data values, expected results and actual results when the program runs
5. A discussion of what you did to make the program run and any problems you encountered
6. A screen shot of the program execution
7. The listing of the program (code for the program)
ATTENDANCE:
You are expected to attend all class meetings.
If you are absent from either lecture or lab, it is your responsibility to
find out what you missed, and complete any assignments that were given. It
would be a good idea to make a friend or two with other people in the class
to share notes in the event that any of you are absent. Once
you have shown some commitment to the class by attending, participating in
quizzes, labs, or homework, I assume that you wish to be in the class. It
is your responsibility to drop the class if you do not wish to continue.
However, you may be dropped by the instructor if it appears that you
are not participating in the class by submitting regular course work. If you
do not complete the course, and do not officially drop through the Admissions
office and are not dropped by the instructor, you will receive a grade based
on your completed work.
In other words, if you want to stay in the class, you need to submit work on a regular basis or your may be dropped. If you want to drop the class, you should drop the class by one of the drop dates to make sure it happens for the best result on your transcript.
