Programming in Java: Reading Suggestions

(Last update 29.10.2004)

The course is based on a Finnish book:

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

The book should be found in the Kumpula Scientific library!

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

The following has already been studied in the course Introduction to Programming. And you should already master this!!

The following lists, what you should read to be able to solve every week's excercises:
  1. week, 4.11: pages 76-78 (all the primitive types), 172-181 (in 173-177 only the IDEA of "representing" different types, not the details), 181-191 (in 187 the shift operators and bitwise operators are not covered; the same applies also to pages 190-191),
  2. week, 11.11: 199-202, 470-480
  3. week, 18.11: 150-152, 155-159, 538-541 (only the idea of linked structures)
  4. week, 25.11: 332-347
  5. week, 2.12: 350-355, 488-498
    This week is problematic because reading and writing named textfiles is not covered in the book! Details of these are not asked in the English examination, though.
  6. week, 9.12: revision of the material

A tool for reading input can be found in page http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/JohdOhj/Sisalto/2/EngKiLu.html
