GUYNES’s CLASS RULES

During the lecture portion of the class [the first 2 hours], all laptops, all cellphones, all Ipads, all PDAs, etc. must be turned off and put away. They cannot be on the desktop, and absolutely no texting is allowed during class. Bring paper and pencil and your text to take notes in.

We will break every 50 minutes [2:50-3:00 and 3:50-4:00], so that you can catch up on your texting and phone calls, but then come back to class and turn everything back off.

During the lab portion of class [the last hour] you may have your laptops turned on to do BCIS 3630 work, or you may work in the COB computer labs. Please do not distract your classmates!!

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course is an introduction to business computer programming and design in a corporate environment. The primary focus is on the information systems function in support of corporate activities. Students will learn business problem solving using JAVA PROGRAMMING in a microcomputer environment.

JAVA TOPICS COVERED

JAVA program types, creating an application, applets, syntax, variables, literals and identifiers, methods, expressions, swing, , print, println. primitive data types, arithmetic operators, cast operation, final, string class, dialog boxes, joptionpane, scope, scanner class methods, , decision structures, if-else, relational operators, nested ifs, logical operators, precedence, switch and the case structure, decimal format class, printf method, selection, exception handling, try/catch, repetition, formatting, loops, while loop, nested loop, file input and output, methods, passing arguments, local variables, classses, instance fields, constructors, overloading methods and constructors, scope of instance fields, packages, import statements, iteration, instance, string arrays, arrays of objects, arrays, loops, external classes, table/arrays, arraylist class

Be CERTAIN to install JAVA in:

C:\Program Files\Java OR IN

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java

Do not install it anywhere else or JGrasp will not work !!!!!!!!!

If you messed up - uninstall it - and reinstall it.

CLICK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL JAVA http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7-netbeans-download-432126.html ---------------------------------------------------

CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE JGRASP IDE WHICH WE WILL USE TO RUN ALL OF OUR JAVA PROGRAMS:

http://www.jgrasp.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not miss class the first 3 weeks or you will be 'HOPELESSLY LOST'.

REMEMBER - BE CERTAIN THAT YOU download and install Java ONLY in :

C:\Program Files\Java. or (x86)

if not uninstall it - and reinstall it, BECAUSE the “bin” folder and the "lib" folder
MUST BE INSTALLED under: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_46\bin or (x86) * and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_46\lib or (x86) * *You may use ANY jdk1.7.0_20 … 45, etc. INSTEAD OF jdk1.7.0_46

NEXT:

Open Control Panel on your Windows Computer - [Start--->Control Panel]

Click the “System Icon [or the word "system"] Click the “Advanced” tab [or the words "advanced system setings"]

Click the “Environment Variables” button at the bottom of the box Under “System variables” look for a variable named “Path” [Note “System variables” is the bottom dialog box NOT the first one.]

Path tells software programs such as JGrasp where to find the “JAVA” executable file. Path variables are separated by a ‘ ; ’. Click on the “Path” variable under “System variables” and click Edit

Go to the end of the text in the “Variable value” field and type the following :

" ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_46\bin; " or (x86)

Please be very careful that you add the text to the End of the existing information that you see, and be sure that you type the " ; " along with the rest of the information stated above. Click OK The next step is to set the CLASSPATH variable. IF the “CLASSPATH” variable ALREADY EXISTS do the following: Click on the “CLASSPATH” variable under “System variables” and click Edit Go to the end of the text in the “Variable value” field and type the following : " ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_46\lib; " or (x86) Please be very careful that you add the text to the end of the existing information that you see, and be sure that you type the " ; " along with the rest of the information stated above. Click OK

IF the “CLASSPATH” variable DOES NOT EXISTS do the following:
Click the New button below the “System variables” dialog box

Type “CLASSPATH” in the Variable name field

Type the following in the Variable value field:

" C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_46\lib; " or (x86) Click OK, OK, OK -----------------------------------------------------------------------

JGRASP software basics

1. Open the .java file you want to compile, so you can run it or debug it for logic errors.

2. Click the ‘Toggle line numbers’ ICON to turn on line numbering.

3. Click the ‘Compile file’ ICON to check for syntax errors. [fix any errors you find]

4a. When you have NO syntax errors, click the ‘Run application for current file’ ICON.

5a. If you still have a LOGIC error, set a breakpoint on the line where you want to start

debugging and then click the’Run debugger on current file’ ICON.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PUT EACH PROBLEM IN A FOLDER AND ZIP IT AND NAME IT: JW_JONES_PROB_ONE. [your last name in front with initials]

THE CHALLENGES WITHIN A PROBLEM FOLDER MUST BE NAMED:
PROB1_CHAL_1 & PROB1_CHAL_5 & PROB1_CHAL_8 & PROB1_CHAL_10

YOU MAY NAME THE .java FILES WHATEVER YOU WISH
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example for problem one:

Do programming challenges 1, 5, 8, 10

[PROB1_CHAL1 & PROB1_CHAL5 & PROB1_CHAL8 & PROB1_CHAL10]

PROBLEM ONE [JW_JONES_PROB_ONE] name of zipped folder

ALL 4 are in the above named folder
