Examples

Pseudocode (Almost Code)

We jot the solution up in pseudocode (almost code).

This let's us first see the work in human language to gain understanding of the problem.

Class: Person
Properties:
	firstName (String) -- first name of person

Java Code

We now turn the solution into Java code.

Practice: put this code into a properly named file and make sure it compiles without errors.

public class Person {

	private String firstName;

}

Pseudocode (Almost Code)

We jot the solution up in pseudocode (almost code).

This let's us first see the work in human language to gain understanding of the problem.

Class: Dog
Properties:
	name (String) -- name of the dog
	weight (int) -- weight of the dog
	favoriteFood (String) -- the dog's favorite food

Java Code

We now turn the solution into Java code.

Practice: put this code into a properly named file and make sure it compiles without errors.

public class Dog {

	private String name;
	private int weight;
	private String favoriteFood;

}

Pseudocode (Almost Code)

We jot the solution up in pseudocode (almost code).

This let's us first see the work in human language to gain understanding of the problem.

Class: Point
Properties:
	x (int) -- the x value of the point (abscissa)
	y (int) -- the y value of the point (ordinate)

Java Code

We now turn the solution into Java code.

Practice: put this code into a properly named file and make sure it compiles without errors.

public class Point {

	private int x;
	private int y;

}
