Documentation for edu.duke library
Course Description
Build on the software engineering skills you learned in “Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software” by learning new data structures. Use these data structures to build more complex programs that use Java’s object-oriented features. At the end of the course you will write an encryption program and a program to break your encryption algorithm.
After completing this course you will be able to:
- Read and write data from/to files;
- Solve problems involving data files;
- Perform quantitative analyses of data (e.g., finding maximums, minimums, averages);
- Store and manipulate data in an array or ArrayList;
- Combine multiple classes to solve larger problems;
- Use iterables and collections (including maps) in Java.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some code could be run in a custom Bluej Development Environment made by Duke’s University especially for this course. You can get the IDE from the University website here.
