Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming 6e


Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming 6th Edition by Walter Savitch introduces object-oriented programming and necessary ideas corresponding to design, testing and debugging, programming type, interfaces inheritance, and exception handling.

The Java coverage is a concise, accessible introduction that covers key language features. Objects are covered completely and early in the text, with an emphasis on software programs over applets. Up to date for Java 7, the book accommodates additional programming projects, case studies, and VideoNotes. Updates have been made for Java version 7, including strings in swap statements and the use of kind inference in generic instance creation.

There is additional case research together with unit testing, use of the Comparable interface, processing comma-separated value recordsdata, and others. Chapter 5 now begins with a less complicated class to more progressively introduce how courses are constructed. Chapter 8 has been reorganized with a higher emphasis and more examples on polymorphism and interfaces.

Chapter 2 describes how to create a Swing application using the JFrame class so students have the option of implementing graphics in applets or in an application. Chapter 12 includes an overview of the Java Collections Framework and examples using the HashMap and HashSet classes. A description of System.out.printf has been added to Chapter 2. A description of Math.random has been added to Chapter 6.

Twenty new programming projects have been added. The author provides flexibility charts in the preface to enable the ordering of chapters and sections based on professor need. Optional graphics sections at the end of most chapters make it possible to cover GUI programming from the start of the course. Coverage of problem-solving and programming techniques includes numerous case studies and programming tips to foster the development of problem solving skills.

Extensive pedagogy throughout the text is aimed to aid with the learning of Java syntax issues. Although students are exposed to using classes in Chapters 1 and 2, the defining of objects is delayed until Chapter 5. All of the basic information about objects and classes, including inheritance, is presented by the end of Chapter 8. Language Details and Sample Code gives complete explanations of Java language features and lots of sample code.
