 | The main language used in this course is Java. You should use Java for all programming activities, the project, and exam answers. The course doesn’t “teach” Java. We assume you already know Java basics. We expect you to learn on your own any Java constructs not covered in your previous courses. The exam expects you to know Java to the extent that you should be familiar with it as a result of using it in the course exercises/projects. |
Preparation:
We require you to use Java 17 (the Oracle version or another alternative such as the OpenJDK version) for all course work. It is your duty to ensure the code you write (and executables you produce) are compatible with that version of Java. Any incompatibilities will be considered as bugs.
If you have Java 8 (a particularly 'sticky' version of Java) in your computer, we recommend removing it, to prevent using it unintentionally.
