JGRASP SHORTCUTS HOW TO

Students explore the Math Class library and learn how to use it to create a program that applies the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. The Java Library Math Class provides programmers with the ability to easily do any math that is needed in their programs. Following this unit students are presented with the Mid-Term Review and Exam. They learn to work with dates and formatting and to write a program with formatting. Students focus on string format, including string format with numbers and with date. They explore Try - Catch statements including using Try - Catch with Scanner and with JOptionPane, and learn to put it all together to write long division. They investigate operator shortcuts, reading in numeric data Scanner, reading in numeric data JOptionPane, and writing a program with arithmetic input. Students also explore additional essential aspects of programming in Java: data types, the ASCII chart, and binary-decimal and decimal-binary conversion.Д¬ontinuing their study of data types, students explore Int and Double data types, basic arithmetic operators, order of operations, and type-casting with Int and Double. Understanding how a computer thinks, as presented in this unit, empowers students to be better programmers. Variables, Java data types, and string data types help fill in this foundation, along with a discussion of Java Libraries, including how to use the Scanner library for input, and how to use the JOptionPane library for both input and output.

In this unit students lay the foundation of their understanding of the Java programming language by studying the basic structure of a Java program and an overview of input and output, including an introduction to basic terminal output. They further discuss programming languages and compilers, and are introduced to jGrasp, the IDE they will use for this class.

They investigate basic concepts of programming, including algorithms, commands, and abstractions, and learn to explore an integrated development environment (IDE). Students prepare for learning to program by discussing what programming is and why we program. This course was developed by the International Academy of Science.
