Why Computer Science?

1. Why Computer Science? “The United States currently has more than 494,000 unfilled computing jobs, but only 43,000 computer science graduates to fill those jobs,” Kentucky Education Commissioner Stephen Pruitt , 2017

13. Course Overview 1) Getting Started Students are introduced to Pascal, the process of writing, compiling and running code. Students will move from ‘Hello world’ to writing programs that get user input and perform simple calculations. 2) Math in In the second week of the course students use more complex mathematics in Pascal and gain more experience taking a problem and implementing its solution in Pascal. 3) Making decisions: if/else During this week students are introduced to decision constructs and add some logic to their programs. 4) Repeating pieces of code: for loop For loop, while loop and repeat until. 5) Case State: If else on steroids 6) Repeat Until 7) While Loop 8) Project 9) Procedures and functions 10) Arrays Saving Searching Sorting 11) If time.. Files Dynamic data structures

24. Navigate to ComputerScience1 Select Folder

25. Name the Project 1) Name The Project. No Spaces 2) Click OK

26. Start with a capital letter. Start a new ‘Class’ 1) New Class

27. Double Click on the Class to edit Double Click

28. Fill in the Class Enter your name, brief description of the program, the date and version 1.0. Delete info between the {} after the public class Welcome1

29. First Program Enter the following program in BlueJ. Put in your name after @author

30. Compiling the Program After you get it compiled correctly. Make an error and note the hint from the compiler. Record three of the errors and hints on the worksheet. Click Compile Check for errors.

31. Running the Program Right click on the class. Select void main() Click OK

32. Output Screen

33. Turn in the .java file Rename the java file to YourNameWelcome1 and turn in to the turn in folder. Include your name in the file name

34. Breaking Down the Program • /** */ Header comments • Include your name • A short description of the program • The Date • // One-line comments. Java does not try to execute these commands. • /* */ Multiple line comments

35. public class Welcome1 • Marks the beginning of this program (class) • Case sensitive Public Class Welcome1 is different • { } • Mark the beginning and end of this class

36. public static void main(String args[]) • This is the starting point of every java application • (Main body of the program) • () after main indicate it is a method. • Java classes usually contain more than one method • Exactly one of these methods must be called main and defined as above for the program to run. • Methods perform tasks and return information. Kind of like functions • void indicates that it will return nothing. • String args[] is required for the main's definition. More details later.

37. { • Marks the beginning of the main body of the class. • Needs to match up with a } • Indent between the {}

38. System.out.println("Welcome to Java programming!"); • System.out is the standard output object for showing info in the command window • The stuff inside () are the arguments • System.out.println(); Displays the arguments (Stuff in parenthesis) and returns to the next line • "Wel..." This is a String of characters that will show up on the screen, message or string literal.

39. Review Describe the following // Mr. Smith // First Program // Today’s date public class Welcome1 { public static void main(String [] args) { //The start of the method System.out.println(“Join a club at West!"); } } What is… The name of the class. What will it show in the screen.

40. More on System.out public class Welcome1 { //main method begins execution of Java application public static void main(String [] args) { //The start of the method System.out.print("Welcome to "); //Stays on the same line System.out.println(“Java programming”); }//End of method main } //End of class Welcome1

41. Showing Multiple lines public class Welcome1 { //main method begins execution of Java application public static void main(String [] args) { //The start of the method System.out.println(“Welcome \nto \nJava \nprogramming”); }//End of method main } //End of class Welcome1

42. Your first programs • Poem/Song: (YourNamePoem-Song) • Create or modify a poem or song to display from your Java Program. • You will need to incorporate at least one printf. • Check: Using printf (YourNameCheck) • No input • Display information on the screen for a check with your generous donation to the West Salem Robotics Club. • You will need to incorporate at least one printf. • ASCII Art • Using print, printf and println create a simple ASCII art image.
