Résumé
Fundamentals of Computer Science using Java uses an object-based approach to the introduction of Computer Science using Java as the programming language. The book is example-based with approximately 50 completely worked examples. The use of a Turtle Graphics library allows early examples and exercises to be interesting while still simple. The use of a basic I/O library allows I/O without having to deal with exceptions and formatting, as would be the case in the standard library.
Features- All topics are introduced using completely worked examples suitable as models for student programs.
- Most chapters include a Case Study which does a sample problem in detail including analysis & design, coding, and testing.
- Programming patterns are used to generalize common programming constructs, allowing students to see the principles behind the examples and to apply them in new problems.
- Memory model diagrams are used to explain variables and assignments, parameter passing, scope, and value vs. reference semantics.
- Style tips are provided throughout to aid students in writing readable programs.
- Software engineering is introduced using CRC cards as a design methodology to start students thinking about design early in their education.
- Complete coverage of basic programming constructs including classes, instance and local variables, constructors, methods and parameter passing, expressions, control structures, Strings, and arrays.
