• The test will include extra points (Mistakes Happen!), e.g., 52 or 53 points, but graded on a scale of 50.

• factual knowledge: TRUE/FALSE, multiple choice
• conceptual understanding: short answer, discussion
• synthesis and application: explain/debug code, trace/modify code

• review online lecture notes (if not mentioned in class, won't be on test)
• review text
• look over quizzes, homework assignments
• reference other sources for examples, different perspectives

TEST 1 MATERIAL
	
Conditionals and expressions
  if statement, if-else
      increment/decrement, arithmetic assignments
      mixed expressions
      type casting
  abstraction & modularization
      internal vs. external method calls
      primitives vs. objects 
  
Interaction and repetition
  modular design
      constant fields (final & static)
      shared fields (static)
  while loops 
      controlled by boolean expression, condition-driven
      logical operators (&&, ||, !), remainder operator (%)
      danger: infinite (black-hole) loops
  variable scope
      nesting loops & conditionals, cascading if-else
      variables local to if/while block
  for loops
      used for counter-driven applications
      equivalent to while loops
  simulations: dice, dot race, volleyball

Class design and strings
  highly cohesive
      each class/method maps to a single entity/behavior
  loosely coupled
      classes are largely independent, interact via methods
  strings
      strings as objects
      comparison using equals and compareTo
      methods: length, charAt, substring, indexOf, toUpperCase, toLowerCase
      Character static methods: isUpperCase, isLowerCase, isLetter, ...
      StringUtils static methods: capitalize, reverse, stripSpaces, pigLatin, ...
