Tina Comston Comp-111 Week 1 Franklin University
	Week 1
		Preparation Read  Chapter 1 (sections 1.1 - 1.7) in the COMP 111 Reading Guide. View Introduction to BlueJ
		Guided Learning Activity It is tempting to bypass the Guided Learning Activities because there are no points associated them, however, I urge you not to do so.  The Learning Activities for each week have been developed to reinforce the reading and provide an introduction to what you will be doing for the homework. Instructions for Week 1 Solutions for Week 1 WebCat
		Homework 1 All homework is submitted through the course drop box.  When you are asked to write code for a homework problem, you will write your code in BlueJ, compile and execute to ensure it correctly solves the problem.  Then copy your completed code and paste it into your homework word document.  The word document is then submitted to the drop box. YouTube video on using BlueJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeNWOaWueYY This is a video produced by an instructor at another university.  The references to lab 1, working the lab with a partner, etc. are not valid for our course, but the description of BlueJ and how it can be used to create/compile classes is relevant and provides a good overview of the software. Problem 1 Programmers encounter 2 types of errors when writing programs Syntax Logic For this first problem, you are to: Provide a definition of each type of error Identify how a programmer would discover that they have this type of error Problem 2 Four pieces of code are provided, each containing an error.  You are to: Create a class in BlueJ with the name ErrorIdentification.   When the class is created, BlueJ will insert some default code into the class.  Delete everything that BlueJ inserted so that you have an empty class.   Copy the code from the problem and paste it into the empty class. Compile the code and if possible execute the code. What type of error was contained in the code, syntax or logic? Problem 3 "Draw" a house using the keyboard characters.   Create a class in BlueJ with the name House. Delete everything that BlueJ inserted into the class so that you have an empty class. Copy the code from the problem and paste it into the class. Notice the comment line: // insert your statements here This is where you will insert your lines of code to "draw" your House. You will use the System.out.println(); method to display your house to the console.  For this method, you will put what you want displayed inside the parenthesis enclosed in double quotations.  For example: System.out.println("-------^----^--------"); Perhaps the above statement would be part of your roof. You will want to both compile and execute your code to ensure that your code does not contain any syntax or logic errors. You will also want to be careful when using the \ character.  This is an escape character signaling a special code to the computer.  For example \r\n signals a carriage return line feed (or advance to the next line.) Problem 4 You will take your completed code from above and insert comments into the code.
		Reflection Paper This is a paper that you will be working on throughout the course.  This will be a journal of your experiences in the course.  Each week make note of any frustrations, successes, revelations, etc.  These can then be included in your final draft of this paper.
