Sir, I believe the Gridworld class has been scrapped and Computer Science A labs have been introduced(for 2015). So will any lectures be following on the same?

Professor, I think you may have skipped mentioning about "round-off errors nuances" and "rounding of floating point numbers to the nearest integer".

Does the test cover the difference between bits and bytes? and other binary stuff?

Types, Variables, & Arithmetic Operators

  • AP Java Subset includes three primitive types: int, double, and boolean
  • A variable is a memory location that can store a value
  • A final variable, or constant, cannot change its value once it is assigned
  • There are five arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %
  • Assignment is done with the = operator
  • There are five compound assignment operators: +=, -=, *=, /=, %=
  • The increment operator ++ adds one; the decrement operator -- subtracts one
