Give a short definition of "program."

A program is a sequence of instructions and data that solves a problem or accomplishes a task.

What is a variable in a program and how is it used?

A variable is a name of a storage location in computer memory. Programs can store values, such as numbers or references to objects, in variables and use these values whenever they are needed. In general, a variable provides a convenient way of remembering a value that might be modified during the course of a program.

Loop variant

An assertion whose truth changes between the first and final execution of a loop. (261)

What are boundary conditions? Give an example.

Boundary conditions are test data that are at or near the limits of a program's valid data. For example, the data 0, 1, 39, and 40 are the boundary conditions of a program that computes a weekly pay based on 40 or fewer hours per week.

What is byte code? Describe how the JVM uses byte code.

Byte code is the code to which a Java source program translates during compilation. The JVM executes the byte code by interpreting its instructions.

Complete code coverage provides a test of all of the possible branches in the control statements of a program.

Extreme condition

Data at the limits of validity. (243)

Reference types

Data types such as String, Student, Scanner. Amount of memory is dependent on size of object being used.

Primitive types

Data types such as int, double, boolean. Amount of memory needed is fized.

Logical operator

Either logical connective (&&, ||) or negation (!). (225)

What is an equivalence class? Give an example.

Equivalence classes are sets of test data that execute a program's instructions in the same manner. For example, the datum 30 belongs to the equivalence class of a program that computes a weekly pay based on 40 or fewer hours per week.

What are extreme conditions? Give an example.

Extreme conditions are test data that are invalid and might cause strange behavior if not detected and handled properly. For example, the data -1 and 41 are among the extreme conditions of a program that computes a weekly pay based on 40 or fewer hours per week.

True or False? Most loops execute a fixed number of times.

False. Most loops execute 0, 1, or more than one time depending on inputs.

Describe two features of Java that make it a better language than C++.

Java has standard features for writing programs with graphical user interfaces and writing network-based applications.

Extended if statement

Nested selection where additional if-else statements are used in the else option. (248)

Pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 5));

Where are panels displayed when a border layout is used to control their placement in a window?

Panels can be displayed in any of the five regions under the influence of a border layout - labeled north, south, east, west, and center.

What would reasonable test data for a loop that does not execute a fixed number of times?

Reasonable test data for a loop that does not execute a fixed number of times would be a datum that causes the loop not to execute at all, a datum that causes one pass through the loop, and a datum that causes multiple passes through the loop.

TRUE

True or False? A nested if statement can be converted to an equivalent if statement whose Boolean expression uses the && operator.

TRUE

True or False? Extreme conditions involve data at the limits of validity.

Describe the role of the assignment (=) operator in a program.

The assignment operator causes a value to be stored in a variable.

The combining of data and behavior into a single software package.

Describe the roles and responsibilities of a frame, a panel, and a layout manager in a GUI application.

The frame plays the role of the main window in an application. Its responsibilities are to display controls for resizing, zooming, minimizing, and closing the window. A panel plays the role of a rectangular area within a window on which shapes or images can be painted. A panel is responsible for setting its background color and refreshing itself when needed. A layout manager plays the role of the organizer of components within a container. Its responsibility is to influence the placement of a component in a container.
