CIT 130 Java

COMPUTER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CIT 130: BEGINNING JAVA

During last Friday's tutoring, a beginning Java student asked many questions about Java. He already has some understanding of computer programming because he had taken the introductory prerequisite programming course that teaches Raptor and Python. He was adept in the use of computers because he can copy an instance in a Mac computer screen into a Windows computer screen using a mouse. So naturally, after downloading all the necessary software to develop and run Java programs into his Mac, he was curious as to what he had just downloaded.

I answered all of his questions without a thought, except for that one where I added a few seconds later, "Well, actually, you can declare a method in Java without defining it, but you have to declare it as abstract."

Later, I concluded I must be a Java expert by now. And since it takes 10,000 coding hours to master a language, I added all the coding hours I've ever had and this is the result.

Here's a practice exam for CIT 130: BEGINNING JAVA.

Question 1. What kit do you need to develop and run Java programs?
Question 2. What environment do you need to run Java programs if you are only a computer user?
Question 3. What specific software provides the JVM?
Question 4. What specific software provides all the pre-defined Java classes?
Question 5. What Java edition has all the functionalities to develop and execute server applications?
Question 6. What Java edition do you need to develop applications designed for mobile devices and embedded systems?
Question 7. What Java edition contains the Java language specification and all library classes to develop stand-alone applications?
Question 8-10. Write a Java program using 3 lines that prints "Hello World!" to the output console without using any book or reference but only using your mind.

I am master of my domain.
