- Define the term algorithm 3x5 Mr. Rogers definition: A code segment that performs a useful task or solves a problem. By substituting the words "set of instructions or steps" for "code segment" the term algorithm can be applied to numerous problems in everyday life including mathematics.
So, what makes computer algorithms special as compared to say mathematical algorithms? Computer algorithms can do massive numbers of iterations in very short periods of time, enabling new forms of problem solving.
- Define list in abstract terms. an abstract data structure that implements an ordered collection of values, where the same value may occur more than once. The simplest form of list is an array. 3x5
- items numbered
- method for accessing the i th item is defined
-
Define traversal. The process of visiting (examining and/or updating) each node or item in a list.
-
- Compare sequential to binary search. Note: O(----) as shown below is called big O notation and indicates how run time will increase for as the amount of data items = n increases.
sequential search: examines each item in a list in order until it finds the one it's searching for. O(n) run time increases proportional to the number of items searched = n.
binary search: list must be sorted. Uses a divide and conquer technique (20 questions). O(log n) run time increases proportional to the logrithm of the number of items searched, where ( items searched ) = n.

- Must call itself within the method
- align="left">Must alter one or more of its arguments each time it calls itself.
- Must have a means of stopping itself based on the modified argument(s)
- Stores calculated values in a stack and evaluates them after the recursion stops. Uses last-in-first-out (LIFO).

| Essential Question: How can Java be used to communicate information? |
Applet Project
-
Use a story board to plan an animation that communicates information via an applet.
-
Use a timer in combination with if-statements to coordinate the elements of a presentation.
example:
create an integer t that increments by 1 each time a timer event occurs. Note: the || operator means or.
if ( t >= someTime || t < aLaterTime) {
// Do something.
}
if ( t >= aLaterTime || t < aMuchLaterTime) {
// Do something different.
}
- Use functional decomposition to successfully complete a moderate-sized software project
Programming Assignment: Create an informative applet using the basic design presented at right and the specifications outlined in the various classes. The applet will present about a minute of animated content that encourages students to consider learning how to code.

| Essential Question: What's the difference between style and syntax? |
Chap. 5: Java Syntax and Style
(AP Computer Science Standard: II Program Implementation, III Program Analysis)
-
Correctly use the three forms of comments:
// Single line comment
/* One or more lines of comments*/
/** Javadoc comments*/
Identify reserved words (p. 107).
Distinguish between syntax and style.
syntax: is the defined form the source code must have. Improper syntax will prevent a program from compiling.
style: is the recognized form source code should take to be easily read and understood by other programmers. Improper form wil not prevent a program from compiling.
Correctly use the naming conventions for classes, methods, and fields.
Capitalize the first letter of classes and constructors but not libraries, packages, methods, fields, or variables.
The first character must be a letter & have no spaces in it.
Names can include letters, numbers or the underscore_.
Names should be descriptive.
Method names = verbs, field = nouns
Symbolic constants use all capitals. example: Math.PI , PI is a public symbolic constant that's a field in the Math class.
Correctly indent programs. All code that belongs inside a set of curly brackets should be indented. Henceforth, deductions will be made for improper indentation. Correct indentation is a style issue.
example:
Relevance: A program won't run without proper syntax. Proper style makes the code readable so that it can be modified and maintained.
public class stuff {
public static void main ( ) {
for ( int x = 0 ; x < 12 ; x++ ) {
if ( x == 12 ) {

Chapter 6: Data Types, Variables, and Arithmetic
(AP Computer Science Standard: II Program Implementation, III Program Analysis)
Relevance of the chapter: Computers do not handle numbers in the same way that algebra does. These differences can cause serious errors or enable new possibilities. An understanding of these differences can be critical in many real-world situations.
-
Understand the meaning and use of the equal sign in Java.
Can have only one field or variable on the left side
Means "replaced by", not equals
-
Correctly declare fields, class variables, and local variables or instances.
Fields: Declared inside a class but NOT inside a method. CANNOT be static
Class Variables: Declared inside a class but NOT inside a method. MUST be static.
Local Variables or instances : Declared inside a method.
-
Correctly initialize (set starting values for) fields, class variables, and local variables or instances.
Fields and class variables: Usually initialized by constructors.
Local variables or instances: Can only be initialized locally
-
State the default values used for initializing fields or class variables. Note that these are created inside of a class but not inside of a method.
Numeric types: 0
Objects or instances: null
-
State the default value used for initializing local variables. (Local variable are created inside of methods. There is no default value for local variables.)
-
State the eight types of primitive data types and their sizes in bytes. (p. 129)
Data Type Size (Bytes) Values boolean 1 true or false char 2 Unicode characters byte 1 very short integer short 2 short integer int 4 integer long 8 large sized integer float 4 floating point (number with decimal) double 8 larger floating point
-
Explain why the largest size of an integer or long variable can be a major issue. The size is finite and if the size is exceeded the program will not work.
Data Type Max size int from - 2.1 x 10 9 to 2.1 x 10 9 -1 long from - 9.2 x 10 18 to 9.2 x 10 18 -1 float from - 3.4 x 10 38 to 3.4 x 10 38 double from - 1.8 x 10 308 to 1.8 x 10 308
-
Explain the limitations of precision on floating point data types (float or double) and why these limitations can produce round-off errors. Byte, short, integer, or long have size limitations but are exact numbers, On the other hand, floating point numbers are often not exact. They have a limited number of significant figures, which can be less than the number of decimal places. For example: a number as large as 1.8 x 10 308 would not have 308 significant figures.
Repetitive calculations can produce significant rounding errors. Click here for an example of code that produces significant rounding errors.
-
State the primitive data types which do not have a true zero and explain why this can be a problem. double and float. These are stored as base 2 logarithms and there is no logarithm for zero.
-
Correctly Use:
literal constant - letters in single quotes and numbers.
examples: 'a', 2, 37.5, 'D', 42.005
symbolic constant - declared and initialized using final.
example: final int XXX = 5;
escape sequences (used when outputting Strings. See p.131)
examples of escape sequences

\n creates a new line \t creates a tab \\ outputs \ \" outputs " code example: System.out.print ( "Using \"escape sequences\" \n is fun!" ) ;
| Essential Question: When does a variable cease to exist? |
Scope
-
Understand the term scope (p. 133). Note: the concept of scope is incredibly important to programming in Java. You must consider it whenever you create a variable. As a matter of style, variables should be declared at the top limit of their scope. Click here for an example of scope.
inside the { } of a class
inside the { } of a method
inside the { } of a loop, if, else statement, or any other set of {}
-
Correctly convert numbers and objects into strings and explain why objects need special attention. (An object may have multiple variables or fields of different data types associated with them, hence the output has to be defined in order to understand how it should be done.)
Concatenate to an empty string. Example: System.out.print ("" + 6);
Use toString method for converting objects to strings By default, the toString method outputs an object's class name and memory location. To output something more meaningful the method has to be overridden or in other words, redefined in the object's class (see toStringDemo at right).

| Essential Question: Is 1/2 the same thing as 1.0 / 2.0? |
Integer Math, Autoboxing and Type Casting
Relavance: Computers do not give exact results in the same way that math does. this can lead to significant errors if a programmer is unaware of the possible problems.
-
Use literal constants as either int or doubles (Example: int: 2, double: 2.0).
-
Correctly use the order of operation for arithmetic.
-
parentheses
-
division, multiplication, modulus
-
addition, subtraction
-
-
Perform division using integers and doubles.
Integer division truncates the decimal portion of a number. It does NOT round numbers. Mixed division of integers and doubles upgrades the answer to a double (this is called autoboxing).
Examples: division of integers: 1 / 2 yields 0 division of doubles: 1.0 / 2.0 yields 0.5 mixed division: 1 / 2.0 yields 0.5, 1.0 / 2 yields 0.5
Depending on autoboxing can cause unexpected problems due to order of operation. If you don't want to truncate decimals and do want a double then use double literal constants!
Examples: int & double literal constants: 1 / 2 * 2.0 yields 0 1.0 / 2 * 2 yields 1.0 1 / 2.0 * 2 yields 1.0 only double literal constants: 1.0 / 2.0 * 2.0 yields 1.0
-
Cast variables. This temporarily changes the data type of a variable.
- Example:
- int a = 2, b = 5;
- double c;
- c = ( double ) a / b ; // c has a value of 0.4 . The variable a is temporarily
- // type cast as a double causing b to be autoboxed as a double.
-
- c = a / b ; // c now has a value of 0.0 . Although a was type cast as a
- // double, it returns to being an integer if no longer type cast.
- c = ( double ) ( a / b ) ; // c has a value of 0.0 . Due to order of operation,
- // a/b occurs before the type casting to double.
- Truncate and round numbers using integer division.
- Examples:
- int rounded_Int, x = 8, y = 3 ;
- double rounded_Double, doubleValue =5.1234;
- Normal Rounding:
- // 0.57 rounded to nearest whole number
- rounded_Double = (int) ( ( 0.57 * 10 + 5) / 10) ; // yields 1.0
-
// x / y rounded to nearest whole number
rounded_Int = ( x * 10 / y + 5 ) / 10 ; ( 8 * 10 / 3 + 5 ) / 10 ; ( 80 / 3 + 5 ) / 10 ; ( 26 + 5 ) / 10 ; 31 / 10 ; 3
Rounding Upward--When billing customers, rounding tenths of cents upward can result in millions of dollars of extra profit.
// 0.1 rounded upward to nearest whole number
rounded_Double = ( int ) ( .1*10 + 9 ) / 10) ; // yields 1
// doubleValue rounded upward to nearest whole number
rounded_Double = ( int ) ( doubleValue * 10 + 9 ) / 10 ; // Yields 6
Rounding downward--When paying debts, rounding tenths of cents downward can result in millions of dollars of extra profit. // 2.9, all decimal places rounded downward (truncates) rounded_Double = (int) ( 2.9 ) ; // yields 2
// doubleValue, all decimal places rounded downward (truncates) roundedDouble = (int) doubleValue; Relevance: Handling massive numbers of transactions involving money without losing any funds due to rounding errors is a major issue for international finance and businesses.

Relavance: Arrays and ArrayLists are key ways that data is stored and manipulated in a computer
given : int incomes [ ] = new int [ 5 ] ;
example of a method's parameters : someMethod ( int inc [ ] ) ;
example of calling the method : someMethod ( incomes ) ;
Note: the [ ] in the example indicates that an array is being passed to the method. Do not put the size of the array in the brackets. Do not use the [ ] when using an array as an argument. (See example code.)
Next, output the total of all salaries. Use a random number generator to fire two employees. Remove them from the ArrayList then add a new employee called Bob Newguy with a salary of $200,000. Again, output a table with the names of the current employees and their salaries. Also output the total of all salaries.
Note: You need to write the letters on graph paper or in an Excel spread sheet in order to understand how many spaces are needed. To understand how the arrays should be initialized look at chapter 10 objective 7 above. You do not need to reproduce the grid lines in your program's output.
