CSC 123: Homework #1

Description

While Greenfoot is an excellent tool for learning Game Development, it still requires you to learn Java to build your game. You are going to learn the Java you need to create your game in three ways:

• class lab assignments,
• class lecture,
• completing the class reading assignments (on time!)
• independent study (aka doing many online tutorials),
• and, finally, via this homework assignment.

For this homework, you are going to provide the definition of several common programming terms and then write a small java function.

Assignment

Define each of the Java and/or Greenfoot terms below and describe a programming scenario where you would use the described term:

1. Class
2. Object
3. Actor
4. Parameter
5. Compile
6. Return type
7. Void
8. Function
9. Method Implementation
10. Method Call
11. Method Invocation
12. If statement
13. Comment
14. Greenfoot API Documentation
15. Constructor
16. If/else statement
17. Instance variables (aka, fields)

Next, write a java function that will take any two integers (data type "int") as parameters and return the largest of the two.

Deliverables

Turn in your definitions and function to me via PolyLearn on or before Jan 21, 23:59:59.
