Introduction to programming: Reading Suggestions

The course is based on a Finnish book:

• Arto Wikla: Ohjelmoinnin perusteet Java-kielellä, OtaDATA 2001.

To help foreign students, there will be a cumulative weekly list of pages in the book

• Lewis, Loftus: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design, Addison-Wesley, 1997.

The contents of the book do not match exactly to the contents of the course.

The following lists, what you should read in Lewis-Loftus for next week's excercises:

1. week 12.9: pages: 2-5, 34-36, 44-52, 54-58, 37-43
2. week 19.9: 76-82 (only types int, double, boolean), 86, 89-102, 183-186, the tool for reading class Lue.java
3. week 26.9: pages 102-106, 194-198, 134-140
4. week 3.10: This week is a little problematic: We start using methods in an 'old fashioned' way, which is not covered in the book! Anyhow a 'near match' is 134-140. We also started with classes and objects, pages 121-124, 131-149, 152-155
5. week 10.10: (again 121-124, 131-149), 152-155, a little about char and String 77-78, 125-128, ...
6. week 17.10: 77-78 (char), 125-128 (String), 208-232, 464-470, 473-477
7. week 24.10: more about those pages above; using char[]-arrays
8. week 30.10:
