Fundamentals of Programming & Software Development - Intro to Java Programming

While it is important to know syntax and write correct code, what can be considered reassuring to a programmer?

A compiler can catch and report errors.

In analyzing whether to use Java, what would be the best argument for using Java?

Java is platform-independent.

Match each word to its correct meaning.

Javac the Java compiler that converts the high-level Java keywords into bytecode, which can be converted to binary by a Java Interpreter Java Development Kit free program used for developing Java applications line comment single line of text in Java used to clarify information, but not function as part of the program; in code, opens with // method Java function or procedure that accomplishes work; in Java, parentheses always follow a method name NetBeans a platform of modular components used with the JDK object-oriented programming approach to programming that includes reusable components to speed up programming; abbreviated OOP pseudocode natural language used to describe the logical processes to be accomplished in a program; used as an outline for the code

Match the definition to the term.

Javac the Java compiler line comment single line of text in Java used to clarify information, but not function as part of the program NetBeans the IDE provided as a bundle with the JDK

___________ is the Java function or procedure that accomplishes work.

Method

What is the relationship between an object and class in an OOP program?

The object in a program is called a class.

Match the definition to the term.

attributes descriptive properties that make up an object/object bytecode code produced by a Java compiler, javac, from high-level Java programming code class an object that has attributes and methods; can be used as a cookie cutter to create, or instantiate, new objects

Match each word to its correct meaning.

attributes descriptive properties that make up an object/object class block comment multiple lines of text in Java used to clarify information, but not function as part of the program; in code, opens with /* and closes with */ bytecode code produced by the Java compiler, javac, from high-level Java programming code; Java Virtual Machine code class an object that has attributes and methods; can be used as a cookie cutter to create, or instantiate, new objects instantiate in object-oriented programming, making a copy of an existing class to create a new object interpreter high-level programming instructions that are converted to an intermediary code that, in turn, is easily converted to machine language as they are encountered Java Interpreter provides the means for Java bytecode to run on almost any platform or operating system Java Virtual Machine code code produced by the Java compiler, javac, from the English-like Java programming code; bytecode

What can you use to enter multiple lines of text explaining a section of code, yet not have the text in the code?

block comments

Suppose you are working on a team using object-oriented programming, and your supervisor observes you creating new objects. She tells you there is an easier way to create objects by making copies. What is your supervisor teaching you?

instantiate

____________ is the natural language used to describe the logical processes to be accomplished in a program.

pseudocode

What must all Java programming statements end with?

semicolon
