UML Class and Sequence Diagrams

  1. Annotate and interpret fields (name and type) on a class diagram
  2. Annotate and interpret methods (with arguments and return type) on a class diagram
  3. Generate a class diagram from a verbal description of a class
  4. Translate a sequence diagram into Java code
    1. Identify the method from which a message is sent
    2. Identify the object or class being sent a message

Week 2

Primitive datatypes, Variables, Identifiers

  1. List the primitive types supported in Java: byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, and char
  2. Select the most appropriate primitive type to store a given piece of data
  3. Use the assignment operator
  4. Describe what happens in memory when a primitive variable is declared
  5. Describe what happens in memory when an object identifier (reference) is declared
  6. Distinguish between reference variables (identifiers for object types) and value variables (identifiers for primitives) in Java code
  7. Describe the differences between primitives and objects
  8. Describe the difference between variable declaration and object creation
  9. Demonstrate how an instance of a class is created (new operator)

  7. Match arguments (actual arguments) to parameters (formal arguments) when using a method
  8. Explain the difference between passing object references and passing primitives

Week 4

Arithmetic expressions

  1. Demonstrate proper use of the following arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %

  5. Interpret arithmetic expressions following operator precedence rules
  6. Define and apply typecasting for numeric conversion
  7. Define numeric promotion (implicit type casting) and identify when it will occur
  8. Define assignment conversion and identify when it will occur
  9. Interpret code that makes use of shorthand assignment operations: *=, +=, ++, etc…
  10. Declare and demonstrate use of literal and named (final) constants

Math class

  1. Use the Javadoc page for the Math class to perform calculations involving the following mathematic operations:
    1. Absolute value
    2. Trigonometric functions (in degrees and radians)
    3. pi – ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter
    4. xy

    6. maximum/minimum of two numbers
    7. Square root
  2. Generate random numbers using Math.random()

Week 5

Selection statements
