From the Cornell Courses of Study
CS 1110 Introduction to Computing
using Java
Fall, spring, summer. 4 credits. Assumes basic high school mathematics (no calculus) but no programming experience.
Programming and problem solving using Java. Emphasizes
principles of software development, style, and testing. Topics
include object-oriented concepts, procedures and functions, iteration,
arrays, strings, algorithms, exceptions, GUIs (graphical user interfaces).
Weekly labs provide guided practice on the computer, with staff
present to help. Assignments use graphics and GUIs to help develop
fluency and understanding.

| Online course evaluation. Completing the evaluation counts toward our course grade, like a quiz. Completion period ends on 6 May. Here is the course evaluation website. |
| Review sessions and final. This pdf file file gives you information. |
| Practice with BigInt. Here is a skeleton for BigInt.java from Prelim 3, with methods written in the order in which they can be developed. Do one or two at a time, test them thoroughly, and move on to the next in order to learn what you missed on prelim 3. |
| Go green with your computer Cornell is participating in the Power Down for the Planet Challenge. Learn how you can take part and also save CO2 and money. |

Expected outcomes of CS 1110:
(1) Understand OO concepts, as used in Java: classes, subclasses, inheritance, and overriding. This in-cludes an operational model of method calls. Understand the basics of OO design.
(2) Be fluent in the use of procedural statements ---assignments, conditional statements, loops, method calls--- and one-dimensional arrays. Be able to design, code, and test small Java programs that meet requirements expressed in English. This includes a basic understanding of top-down design.
(3) Have knowledge of basic searching and sorting algorithms.
