Taught by Professor Simon Overview From Scratch to JAVA is designed to provide easy to understand exercises that will allow aspiring programmers to become familiar with programming languages and the programming environments. Since programming is a form a problem solving, it is important to have an understanding of the problem and to have a strategy of how to solve it. This will require you to do some critical thinking before you even create any code. Whether you are a novice or experienced programmer, this text can help you to begin to think critically about how to approach a problem and solve it using a programming language.   Table of Contents IntroductionLab 1 - Hello WorldLab 2 - Reading Keyboard InputLab 3 - Addition and SubtractionLab 4 - Multiplication and DivisionLab 5 - IfLab 6 - If ElseLab 7 - Nested IfLab 8 - Logical OperatorsLab 9 - Random NumbersLab 10 - For LoopLab 11 - While Loop    Lab 12 - Nested LoopLab 13 - Function CallsLab 14 - ArrayListsLab 15 - ArraysConclusion About the Authors Dr. DeShea Simon Dr. DeShea Simon is on the faculty in the School of Business at Hampton University where she teaches courses in information systems and system analysis and design.  This experience has enabled her to track and assess the technical skills of young people.
