Review of Section 2-1 Vocabulary
Highlight the following terms in your vocabulary list.
IDE, Bug, Debugging, Class, Argument, Instance, Procedure - these terms are directly related to JAVA and programming in general.

All objects in JAVA are defined in a Class
A Bike class would define what a bike is (its attributes) and what it can do (its methods).

When you actually create an actual bike object then you are creating an Instance of the bike class. You can create many instances of the bike class.

When you create an instance of the bike class you can assign it specific arguments such as 30 for max speed, 7 for number of gears, 29 for tire size. The actual values assigned to the instance are arguments.

Procedures - the great thing about programming is that there are already many routines already defined for you. But if there is not one that does what you want it to do you can write your own procedures.
