CIS 172 - Java

Task 1:    Understand the concept of a method and what all methods must contain.  (A header or definition, an open curly bracket, a body, and a closing curly bracket.)
Task 2:    Identify the access modifier for a method. (public, private, friendly, protected, private protected, or static)

Outcome 2:  Create programs that use the computer as a computational tool.

Task 1:    Write classes containing methods to complete computations.
Task 2:    Declare objects in a class.
Task 3:    Determine the scope of a variable within a block.
Task 4:    Write programs which overload a method.
Task 5:    Write programs that send arguments to a constructor method.
Task 6:    Incorporate pre-written methods into a program.

Outcome 3:  Create programs with Java to solve real world problems.

Task 1:    Write methods with no arguments
Task 2:    Write methods with a single argument
Task 3:    Write methods that require multiple arguments
Task 4:    Write methods that return values.
Task 5:    Write declarations for arrays.
Task 6:    Write routines to load arrays with data.
Task 7:    Write routines to print the content of arrays
Task 8:    Write routines to search an array for elements that satisfy specific conditions.
Task 9:    Write routines to process data in a two-dimensional array.
Task 10:  Write routines that pass arrays to methods
Task 11:  Write declarations for strings.

Outcome 4:  Utilize resources to debug errors and to find statements to meet specific needs.

Task 1:    Explain what resources are available on the Internet to assist in fixing programming errors.
Task 2:    Explain what resources are available on the Internet to find programming statements to meet specific needs.
Task 3:    Adapt previous programming statements to meet the needs of the current programming task.
Task 4:    Work collaboratively with classmates to solve programming problems.

Outcome 5:  Use Java statements including selection statements, and loop control statements.

Task 1:    Write a class header for a program.
Task 2:    Write a method header for a program.
Task 3:    Write assignment statements satisfying given conditions.
Task 4:    Write assignment statements using arithmetic operators.
Task 5:    Write statements utilizing the six comparison operators.
Task 6:    Write simple selection statements to perform specific tasks.
Task 7:    Write selection statements that contain compound actions.
Task 8:    Write multiple-alternative structures using nested if - else statements.
Task 9:    Write multiple-alternative structures using switch statements.
Task 10:  Use ordinary assignment statements to provide for counting or accumulating.
Task 11:  Use increment/decrement operators for counters and compound assignment operators for accumulators.
Task 12:  Write programs that use counter-controlled loops.
Task 13:  Write programs that use sentinel-controlled loops.
Task 14:  Write programs that use end-of-file-controlled loops.
Task 15:  Write programs that contain nested loops.
