Readings
• Course is carefully
designed such that
each activity lays the
foundation for the
next
• Skipping activities is
considered harmful
• I will assume the
lower layers when
discussing the higher
layers
Major Themes
• Object-oriented design
• Design patterns
• Test-driven development
• Linear data structures
This Week’s Outcomes
• Review the fundamental object-oriented
principles of encapsulation, composition, and
abstraction.
• Review the algorithmic building blocks of
methods, selection, and repetition.
• Review the properties, operations, and use of
primitive data types, strings, and arrays.
• Use an integrated development environment to
edit, compile, run, submit, and correct a Java
program.

Activity Solutions for Week 01
Learning Activities
Activity 1-1
• Outcome: Review the fundamental
object-oriented principles of
encapsulation, composition, and
abstraction.
Learning Activities
Q: Consider the following problem description, and decide
what classes you should use to implement it. For each
class, also list its methods and instance fields.
A user places coins in a vending machine and selects a
product by pushing a button. If the inserted coins are
sufficient to cover the purchase price of the product,
the product is dispensed and change is given.
Otherwise, the inserted coins are returned to the user.
The user also has an option to cancel the sale and
have his or her coins returned.
Learning Activities

Learning Activities
Q: Employees receive their paychecks biweekly.
Hourly workers are paid their hourly rates for
each hour worked; however, anyone who
works more than 40 hours per week is paid
overtime at 150% of the regular wage.
Salaried employees simply get the two-week
portion of their yearly salary regardless of how
many hours they work.
Learning Activities

-hourlyWage : double
-hoursWorked : int
+getHourlyWage() : double
+getHoursWorked() : int
+calculatePay() : double
ExemptEmployee
-salary : int
+getSalary() : int
+calculatePay() : double
Learning Activities
Q: Customers order products from a store.
Invoices are generated to list the items,
payments received, and amount still due.
Products are shipped to the shipping
address of the customer, and invoices
are sent to the billing address.
Learning Activities
Address
-streetAddr : string
-city : string
-state : string
-zip : string
+getStreetAddr() : string
+getCity() : string
+getState() : string
+getZip() : string

Learning Activities
Activity 1-2
Outcome: Review the algorithmic building
blocks of methods, selection, and
repetition.
Q: Describe the selection control structures
available within Java.
Learning Activities
A:
if (condition) {
…
} else {
…
}
switch (selector) {
case label: statements; break;
case label: statements; break;
default: statements;
}
Q: Describe the repetition control structures available within Java.
Learning Activities
A:
while (condition) {
…
}
do {
…
} while (condition);
for (initialization; condition; update) {
…
}
Q: In the following expression, what happens if num is 0?
(num != 0 && num / num)
Learning Activities
A: It looks like an ArithmeticException should be
thrown because of division by zero, but
because of short-circuiting, the second half of
the expression is never evaluated.
Q: What is the purpose of a break statement?
What is the purpose of a continue statement?
Learning Activities
A: The purpose of a break statement is to
end execution of a loop immediately.
The purpose of a continue statement is
to end execution of the current iteration,
and begin the next iteration immediately.
Learning Activities
Activity 1-3
Outcome: Review the properties,
operations, and use of primitive data
types, strings, and arrays.
Q: List and describe the primitive types in Java.

Learning Activities
Q: Given the following three statements:
String greeting = “hello”;
String welcome = greeting;
String salutations = “hello”;
What are the truth-values of
(greeting == welcome) and
(greeting == salutations)?
Learning Activities
A: As it turns out, they’re both true because of
the specific details of how the String class
works. However, you should not use == to
compare the value of objects.
Q: If you had a long String that contained an
entire paragraph of text, how would you go
about breaking it up into individual words?
Learning Activities
A:
String [] words = text.split(“ “);
Learning Activities
Q: Write tests for the flight control
system, and repair the parts that
have been sabotaged.
