This tutorial lesson is the first in a series of lessons dedicated to the AP Computer Science A Exam .
The purpose of the series is to help you to better understand the Java Subset specifications for the Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam.
For example, if you access the AP Computer Science Course Description and scroll down to Appendix A titled AP Computer Science Java Subset , you will find material such as the following:
(Note: This is the wording that appeared on the website on March 1, 2011. It may change over time.)
While some students and their homeschool parents may know exactly what is meant by this text, others may not. Therefore, my objective will be to elaborateon and attempt to clarify such specifications from a technical viewpoint to help those students and their parents get a better understanding of where they needto concentrate their efforts.
In some cases, I will simply elaborate verbally on the specifications. In other cases, I will also provide program code that illustrates some of what thestudent is expected to know.
In other cases, I will also provide code that illustrates some of what the student is apparently not expected to know.
In the next lesson, I will begin by elaborating on the following specificationsfrom the above-mentioned course description .
This section contains a variety of miscellaneous materials.
