Description:

KEY MESSAGE: By emphasizing the application of computer programming not only in success stories in the software industry but also in familiar scenarios in physical and biological science, engineering, and applied mathematics, Introduction to Programming in Java takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching programming with the Java(TM) programming language. Elements of Programming: Your First Program; Built-in Types of Data; Conditionals and Loops; Arrays; Input and Output. Functions and Modules: Static Methods; Libraries and Clients; Recursion. Object-Oriented Programming Data Types; Creating Data Types; Designing Data Types. Algorithms and Data Structures: Performance; Sorting and…

Elements of Programming



Your First Program Programming in Java Input and Output



Built-in Types of Data Definitions Characters and Strings Integers Floating-point numbers Booleans Comparisons Library methods and APIs Type conversion



Conditionals and Loops If statements While loops For loops Nesting Applications Infinite loops



Arrays Arrays in Java Coupon collector Sieve of Eratosthenes Two-dimensional arrays Example: self-avoiding random walks



Input and Output Birds-eye view Standard output Standard input Redirection and piping Standard drawing Standard audio



Case Study: Random Web Surfer Input format Transition matrix Simulation Mixing a Markov chain



Functions and Modules



Static Methods Using and defining static methods Properties of static methods Implementing mathematical functions Using static methods to organize code Implementing static methods for arrays Example: superposition of sound waves



Libraries and Clients Using static methods in other programs Libraries Random numbers Input and output for arrays Iterated function systems Standard statistics Modular programming



Recursion Your first recursive program Mathematical induction Euclids algorithm Towers of Hanoi Function call trees Exponential time Gray codes Recursive graphics Brownian bridge Pitfalls of recursion



Case Study: Percolation Percolation Basic scaffolding Vertical percolation Testing Estimating probabilities Recursive solution for percolation Adaptive plot



Object-Oriented Programming



Data Types Basic definitions Color Digital image processing String processing String-processing application: genomics Input and output revisited Properties of reference types



Creating Data Types Basic elements of a data type Mutable types Complex numbers Mandelbrot set Commercial data processing Classical OOP example



Designing Data Types Designing APIs Encapsulation Immutability Spatial vectors Data mining Design-by-contract



Case Study: N-body Simulation Body data type Universe data type N-body simulation



Algorithms and Data Structures



Performance Observations Hypotheses Order of growth classifications Predictions Caveats Performance guarantees Memory



Sorting and Searching Binary search Insertion sort Mergesort Application: frequency counts Application: longest repeated substring



Stacks and Queues Pushdown stacks Array implementation Linked lists Array doubling Parameterized data types Stack applications FIFO queues Queue applications Iterable collections Resource allocation



Symbol Tables API Symbol table clients Binary search trees Performance characteristics of BSTs Traversing a BST Extended symbol table operations Set data type



Case Study: Small World Phenomenon Graphs Graph data type Graph client example Shortest paths in graphs Small-world graphs
