Thursday, January 9th

Create new Projects for every coding project - make the project name the name of the exercise 4-1StudyTool.
Views in Eclipse, Perspectives - changing perspectives and the java default perspective - found under Other
Review of main method - public static void main (String [] args)
Scanner Objects -

import java.util.Scanner;
public class StudyPage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanterm = new Scanner(System.in);
String termvar;
System.out.println("Enter a study term");
termvar = scanterm.nextLine();

Note: the Scanner object can retrieve other types of primitive values such as int, double, float...
So if you would type in scannerNumber.nextInt(); to retrieve an integer value. (check the java api for the Scanner class)

Pseudo code -
if the car is too heavy
then remove some weight
else bring extra money for gas

Lesson 1 should be completed by tomorrow. Late work will receive a reduced score.

Complete Section 4: Lesson 1 - Getting Started with Eclipse  slides - duplicate the steps in the instructions and show the StudyTool project with the studyTool package and StudyPage class.
Duplicate the code provided and demonstrate that the code works for teacher check once you have finished the lesson.
Add comments to your code that explains what each line does.
Show your working Gallons to Liters program once you have completed all of the practice questions.

Section 4: Lesson 2 - Object and Driver Classes Vocabulary
- A group of related Java classes.
- Sections of code that are enclosed inside a set of curly braces. {}
- First letter uppercase and the first letter of each internal word capitalized. Example: SavingsAccount
- A named value that does not change.
- First letter lowercase and the first letter of each internal word capitalized. Example: studentFirstName
- A class that contains a main method.
- A code statement in a Java class file that includes java code from another package or class.
- A class that defines instances of objects to be used in another class.
- Code that is preceded by //. Comments are used to clarify programming logic. Comments are ignored by the compiler.
- A word that has a special function in the Java language, and cannot be used as names for classes, methods, or variables.
- The library of Java classes available to import into a programmer-created class.
- The outline of an object, including class variables, constructors, and methods.
- A special kind of method that is a template for an object.
- Values that are sent into a method or constructor to be used in a calculation or substituted with values from the class.
- Values, such as numbers, characters, or booleans. References to objects, such as a BankAccount object.

Complete Section 4: Lesson 2 - Object and Driver Classes Programs - show these to me for teacher check. Before you leave class today all of lesson two should be finished and you should have shown me your two programs, Student and Person classes with their driver classes. See the Oracle curriculum.
The output of the StudentDriver class should be in the following form:

Student Name: Caron Newman
Student ID: 123456789
Student Status: Active

This program was created by .....

Homework

Install Eclipse on your home computer if you would like to be able to work on your java at home.

What

Objectives for Section 4 Lesson 1
In this lesson, you will learn how to:
• Identify components of Eclipse
• Compile an application
• Test to ensure application is complete
• Write the code for GalToLit.java
• Continue coding until error free compilation and execution is reached
• Modify the program to compute a different number of gallons into its equivalent number of liters

Why

Eclipse is an efficient and easy to use a development environment for creating Java programs. It is a well known tool by many Java programmers and is used in many development environments.
Learning Eclipse in this lesson will give you additional skills with tools used in the Java programming space.

How

By completing the slides, quiz and practice exercises.
