1JAVA and Programming Basics
- What is Programming?
- What is Java?
- Review of basic concepts of Java
- Role of Java in problem-solving
- Assignment Sample: Given an integer n. Find politeness of number n. The politeness of a number is defined as the number of ways it can be expressed as the sum of consecutive integers.
2Data Types, Variables and Expressions
- Assignment Sample: Write a program to calculate the percentage increase in the cylinder if the height and or radius is increased/decreased by a given percentage.
3GrapHics and Games
- Assignment Sample: Write a program that displays a clock. It should ask the user to input an hour and minutes, and then have the code draw a clock face with the hour and minute hands in the correct position.
4OBJECT ORIENTED CONCEPTS
- Assignment Sample: Write a class to build your own custom car which has cool new wheels, color and other features.
5Looping, CONDITIONALS and iterations
Assignment Sample: Morphe images to change its face or make it run etc.
Write a program to check whether a product of digits at even places is divisible by the sum of digits at the odd place of a number.
6Strings
Assignment Sample: Write a function that returns an acronym for a string consisting of the all capital letter of each word in a string. For example, make_acronym('Competitive Kids STEM') would return 'CKSTEM'.
Write a program to find if a word is a palindrome.
7Flow of Control
Assignment Samples: Write a program to calculate maximum profit after buying and selling the stocks
Write a program that asks the user to enter a positive integer n and then outputs the nth Fibonacci number.
Solve a simple 3x3 or a complex 9x9 sudoku using lists.
8Mid Term PROJECT
- The mid term project will be assigned in week 3. Students are supposed to use all concepts taught through the term and demo their solution in the mid-term weeks The project will be marked based on the creativity and use of concepts taught.
9ARRAYS and functions
- Assignment Sample: Write a function to set custom values for your own robot.
- Write a program that simulates rolling two 6-sided dice 100 times, and keeps track of how many times each sum occurs. What sum appears the most number of times? Print a table that shows a difference in the ratio of the actual occurrence to its theoretical probability. What happens if we increase frequency to 1000 or even higher numbers?
10OOPS ENCAPSULATION
- Assignment Sample: Write a function that takes a name as input and sets it inside the instance of a class.
- How to hide your data with an example of a TV circuit that is only accessible internally and not to users. Why its important to hide data.
11INHERITANCE
- Assignment Sample: Write a program to build your own bike which inherits properties of a vehicle and users some of them.
12POLYMORPHISM
- Assignment Sample: Write a program to create your own favorite animal with custom sounds, color etc. using animal Class
13USING PACKAGES AND INTERFACES
- How the packages make it easy to keep all your code together.
- Skeleton interfaces that can be implemented for multiple classes
- Assignment Sample: Create an interface that enforces your car to have 4 wheels and 4 doors.
14DEBUGGING AND AUTO TESTING YOUR CODE
- Learn to work together using GITHUB to build big software programs
- Assignment sample: Create and run your code automatically using various sample edge test cases and see where it fails and fix it
15FINAL PROJECT
- The final project will be assigned in after mid-term. Students are supposed to use all concepts taught through the year and demo their solution in the final 2 weeks. The project will be marked based on the creativity and use of concepts taught.
