How to Write Programs

This Site is devoted to CIS 104 and CIS 211 Students (see below for concepts)

Basics of the Java Language

Advanced Java -- 314 Concepts

Summary of Control Flow Statements in Java

This site is dedicated to helping students at Shepherd College

learn many of the concepts needed to program computers.

Much of the material contained and referenced at this site is

oriented to CIS 211 and CIS 314 students, but any CIS student

is free to use this site as a reference. Many of the concepts

discussed in the early pages of this site are simplified

so that students can dwell on concepts rather

than technicalities in the early stages of learning.

My belief is " a picture is worth a thousand words"

An Excellent Resource for 104, 211, 314

http://thenewboston.org/tutorials.php

3 commands that are critical to understanding and writing java programs on the computer.

1...assignment statements

Varuable = expression;

2...decision statements

       if( condition )
         {
              true branch
          }
         else
          {
                false branch
           }

3...loops

      for ( starting assignment ; test condition ; increment )
        {
            program statements
            of your choise
            to solve the problem
         }
