 Welcome to the Wiki-Based Text for COMP 1010Welcome to COMP 1010 at the University of Manitoba. This text will show you how to set up your own computer so you can do your assignments at home. Confused about logging in to the website or the lab computers? Read on. Then you will learn how to write your first program in Java. And from here you'll learn how to write programs that do more than output "Hello World!". We'll show you how to use loops, call methods, write methods, and understand arrays. Just as importantly, we'll talk about the importance of solving problems and thinking like a programmer. Finally there's a chapter that's meant to show you that computer science is about much more than programming. | ||||

Chapter 1: What is Programming?Learn about the steps to write a program, and read a short overview of the history of programming. | ||||
Chapter 2: Java FundamentalsWrite your first program in Java. Then learn how to add input, declare and use variables, and do basic math. Also learn about relative and logical operators, casting, ++, --, and named constants. | ||||
Chapter 3: Calling MethodsLearn to use methods--ones written by Java programmers--to manipulate numbers and strings. Also customize your dialog boxes with methods from JOptionPane. | ||||
Chapter 4: Control StructuresFinally! Write programs that can make decisions using if and if else statements. Also learn how to nest if else statements. | ||||
Chapter 5: LoopsLearn to repeat blocks of code using loops. This chapter focuses on while and for loops, but also introduces do-while loops. Also, learn to nest loops. | ||||
Chapter 6: User Defined MethodsIn Chapter 3 you learned to call methods that were already written. Now learn to write your own methods so you don't have to repeat common code. | ||||
Chapter 7: ArraysIf you want to store a grade for everyone in a class of 100 students do you need to have 100 variables? Fortunately, no. Instead, learn to use an array to store the data. Then learn to process arrays using loops. | ||||
Chapter 8: More With ArraysLearn to pass arrays using methods. Also use partially-filled arrays. Next learn to sort and search arrays. Finally, use parallel arrays. | ||||
Chapter 9: Java In-depthBy now you've written, compiled and run many Java programs. This chapter explains what goes on behind the scenes when you are compiling and running Java programs. | ||||
Chapter 10: More About Computer ScienceComputer Science is not just about programming! Even though this course focused on programming there are many other areas of computer science. Read about them here. | ||||
