CIS175 Java Programming

My Description of the course.
(This is not the official course description.)

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: CIS 150 or permission of the Instructor
General Education Skill: problem solving
Offered in Fall and Winter semesters

    The Java programming language will be used to create stand-alone applications
    and World-Wide-Web pages with "dynamic content." By using Java applets,
    web pages can include audio, animation, interactivity, video and even
    three-dimensional imaging. This course will include an in-depth coverage of Java
    including: object orientation, methods, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, linked
    data structures, and creating and using applets.

Introduction

Formula for Programming Exercise 3.15 from wikipedia.org

The calculation used to arrive at the periodic payment amount assumes that the first payment is not due on the first day of the loan, but rather one full payment period into the loan.

While normally used to solve for A, it can be used to solve for any single variable in the equation provided that all other variables are known.

The formula is:

$A \;= \;P\;\frac{i(1 + i)^n}{(1 + i)^n - 1}$

Where:

A = periodic payment amount
P = amount of principal (be sure to subtract any down-payments first!)
i= periodic interest rate
n= total number of payments (for a 30-year loan with monthly payments, n = 30 years x 12 months = 360)

To run an application from an applet do the following:

Create a new instance of the application
Display it by using the show() method.

Example:

ApplicationClass application = new ApplicationClass();

application.setSize(300,300);

application.setLocation(350,350);

application.show();

To run an applet from an applet do the following:

Create a new frame
Create an instance of the applet
Add the applet to the frame
Run the applet's init() and start() methods
Display the frame

Example:

JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title");

AppletClass applet = new AppletClass();

frame.getContentPane().add(applet);

applet.init();

applet.start();

frame.setSize(300,300);

frame.setLocation(300,300);

frame.setVisible(true);
