Using the Scanner Class to input data (read data from an input stream (the keyboard since we are using System.in))
Reference (Only these methods for now): String variablename = data.next() // Reads next "token", a "word" stops when finds white space int variablename = data.nextInt() // reads an integer value.
String lineoftext = data.nextLine() // Reads a line of text * use System.out.println() before using Scanner class's methods to inform user of what type of data to enter. |

| M 03/08 | Midterm Review: Midterm Exam 3/8 (in class) How to study for the midterm: 1) Read from required book chapters:
2) Review the homework 3) Review lectures and examples posted on the class website. 4) Make sure that you understand OOP concepts from chapter 7 ( 7.1 - 7.4 and 7.6 to 7.8 ). Also, make sure that you know how to provide the UML. Concepts: What is a class, how do you instantiate objects from a class, private fields, how do you access and change these fields using getters and setters methods, static fields and methods, and instance fields and methods. 5) Make sure to review Circle and UML discusses in class: complete Circle example with UML(pdf file) Circle example 3, TestCircle example 3 6) Review Student example discussed in class: Student example using private fields, accessors and static variables
7) Practice the Midterm Sample questions (Work on questions 3, 4 and 5 ONLY). Skip Recursion and multi Dimensional arrays questions)

| 04/05 and 4/07 | File I/O (Reading data from a file and writing data to a file within a program): Chapter 8 (pages 283- 291) Java has many techniques to read/write to a file (I/O): 1) Simple example using File class: 2) Reading from File: A simple example using Scanner and File class: Read from file || life2.dat (you can use any data file for this example but you need to change the name of the file) To read and write from file, you should use java.util.PrintWriter (to write and append to file) and java.util.Scanner classes (to read from file). Both of these classes are high-level and easy to use. Two examples that will help read from files for assignment # 4 (Game of life): 1) Initializing a TicTacToe board from data in a file called tic.dat (helpful for assignment#4): Three files needed: Version #1: TestFileStringReader2.java ||FileStringReader.java || tic.dat Version #2: Same example as above but using Scanner class (easier to use and more efficient):
