Be Able To
- Answer multiple choice questions. Give a reason to support each
answer.
- Construct the program trace and predict the
output of a Java program. Traces could involve
static mathods, arrays, or objects.
- Use the predefined classes to create
objects and use their methods, both static
and object methods.
- Construct the UML diagram for a class,
write the class definition, and a main method
that will test it.
- Write a Java program that will solve a
problem. Be able to obtain inputs from these sources:
input dialog or textfield on an applet.
- Know the steps for placing and using controls on an applet.
- Know how to run Java from the DOS prompt.
