50 Java Program Source Codes (Volume 1)

Chris Clarke’s background in mathematics and computer science give him a sound knowledge of BASIC, Pascal, C, Lisp and Smalltalk, and over the subsequent 30 years, he has written numerous computer programs in all these languages. Over the last ten years, however, Chris has worked mainly with Java, and is a well-known name to Java students worldwide. His quick and insightful solutions to Java queries, posed by students on the Yahoo! Answers website have now placed him seventh on the UK and Ireland top ten list. Chris has written this book packed with homework help for newbies of the Java SE programming language. If you're a student or hobbyist programmer or learning Java for work, then this book is for you. All the programs are short and simple, ready to compile and run from the Command Prompt Window or in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as NetBeans or Eclipse. There are 50 complete program source codes to study and experiment with. They can be used as examples of how to use particular Java keywords, ideas and concepts which are part of the Java language. If you are a student and have Java homework, they could prove very helpful. Example programs are the "Find.java" program which searches through all the text files in a specified directory to find a particular word or phrase, or the "DayFinder" which is useful for finding out what day of the week a particular date will fall on. As a programmer, you may also want to use "BracesAndSpaces" to help with text alignment for code, and "ReplaceText" which will prove invaluable in replacing each instance of text with another. This book is a practical way to help learning. *Note: "Java"[tm] is trade mark of Oracle. See the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index.htm
