The Java Language

CS 161 - Java

Creating a Java application

• Decide what it is you want to accomplish

• Break that down into smaller and smaller pieces
  (Like writing an outline.)

  In object oriented programming it helps to think first in terms of what are the nouns that make up your problem: these become your class names.

• Write Java code in one or more source files that fulfills the actions required.

  Think of what the verbs are that you want your nouns to do: these become your methods.
