Module Learning Outcomes

In this module, you will develop further your programming skills as follows;

Tracing

Implementing

Ability to write Java programs leveraging Sets & Maps.

Testing

Ability to develop tests for Java programs leveraging Sets & Maps.

Debugging

Ability to troubleshoot Java programs leveraging Sets & Maps.

Designing

Ability to design Java programs leveraging Sets & Maps.

Please note that some of the following exercises will require your programs to accept command line arguments. You may either decide to work using the command line prompt to run these or use the feature of your IDE that allows you to specify command line arguments when you run your project. All IDEs support this feature.

For JGrasp, you need to go to the Build menu then check the Run Arguments checkbox. This will provide you with a input line of text, right above your source code pane, where you may enter what you would pass to your program if you were running it at the command line.

If you bump into problems with this, do not hesitate to post in the support forum or even the module's forum.
