 Bookmark Sun Java API Documentation
Locate the current version of the Sun Java API Documentation. You should consult the Java API Documentation each time you use one of the classes from the API. Take a look around at the classes. Notice the information you can obtain for each class such as the package to which it belongs. Bookmark this link and refer to it often.

ADDITIONAL PRACTICE FOR CHAPTER 8

Text file I/O is one of the most difficult topics for new programmers. Please complete these additional activities to further prepare you for the performance assessment. One of the tasks that you complete will require text file I/O.

End of Chapter Review and Programming Exercises 10212010

 Research IO Classes in Java API Documentation
Review the following classes in the documentation. Note the constructors, methods, and attributes for each of the following IO classes. Be sure you know how to use at least one class to read in from a file and one class to write out to a file.
       Scanner Formatter FileReader FileWriter PrintWriter BufferedReader BufferedWriter

1. What is the syntax for constructing an object for each of the above IO classes? 2. Which class has methods that parse input from a file? In other words, which let you read individual tokens from a file? 3. Which class reads an entire line from a file? Do you know how to tokenize a line of text read in? How could you use the StreamTokenizer class to parse a line read in using BufferedReader?

 Readiness check: Develop an Application That Uses Formatter and Scanner
Write a program that creates a class called DVDLogger with the following methods: storeDVDInfo(): Continuously prompts the user to enter DVD title and price. Writes DVD title and price information to a text file using Formatter. readDVDInfo(): Opens the text file with the DVD information written by storeDVDInfo() method. Uses a Scanner to read the DVD information from the text file and prints the contents to the screen You will need to create a driver or test application that calls storeDVDInfo() and readDVDInfo() to verify that these both meet requirements.

 Readiness check: Develop an Application That Uses BufferedReader and BufferedWriter
Write a program that creates a class called Converter with a method called convert() that does the following: convert(): Accepts a String argument called ‘fileName’, which is the name of a text file. Uses BufferedReader class to read the contents of the text file. Converts all characters of the text file to uppercase. Uses the BufferedWriter class to write the converted contents to a new file called "incaps.txt" You will need to create a driver or test application that calls convert() to verify that this method meets requirements.

CHAPTER 9: OPTIONAL
This material isn’t required for this assessment. It will be helpful in the next Java assessment and you are encouraged to read it, time permitted.

CHAPTER 10: ASSIGNED REVIEW AND PROGRAMMING EXERCISES

Please complete the following end of chapter review and programming exercises. They were selected because they are relevant to the competencies you must develop to complete the performance assessment. Complete R10.1, R10.2, R10.16, R10.19 Complete P10.7, P10.9, P10.10

ADDITIONAL PRACTICE FOR CHAPTER 10

The topic of Collections is one of the most difficult for new programmers. Please complete these additional activities to further prepare you for the performance assessment. One of the tasks that you complete will require you to use Maps and Sets.

End of Chapter Review and Programming Exercises 10212010

 Readiness check: Create an Application That Uses a Set
Write a program that reads in a text file that contains first names, and displays to the screen the list of unique first names found in the file in upper case. The input test file you use should have duplicate names. Your application should prompt the user for the input file name. Print the names to the screen without any duplicates. Code this first using a TreeSet, and then code it again using a HashSet. Compare the order of the names printed. Start this activity by developing the pseudocode for your algorithm.

 Readiness check: Create an Application That Uses a Map
Write a program that accepts a band name and an integer that indicates how many music CDs you own by that band. This information will be stored in a TreeMap. The application will continue to accept a band name and count until done entering input. The application then iterates over the TreeMap and prints the band and count data to the screen sorted alphabetically. Finally, print the total number of bands and the total count of CDs you own. Start this activity by developing the pseudocode for your algorithm.

 Readiness check: Word Frequency
Access the Worked Example 10.1: Word Frequency in WileyPlus. Without looking at the solution, try to implement a coded solution, using a Map, by reviewing the Steps and provided pseudocode.
