These are programs that need to be handed in, but are not marked or are just marked for completion (e.g. 5/5 for doing the work).
These are bigger programs/assignments that must be handed in to be marked and are marked more carefully.
These are more difficult programs for enrichment. They only need to be done if you want more than 90% in the course.
Fun extra things to investigate

Feburary 2016 - Daily lessons and assignments
M	T	W	Th	F
1	2	3	4 Intro	5 Unit 1: consolidating Java double, float, long, int. Casting. Video on floating point Java math stuff -- know this (I'll rewrite it ...) CRAZY STUFF about Integer
8 Wrapper classes (Google "java double class") Program: Biggest 3	9 finish up Biggest3 programs Show them to class	10 Make your own array sorting program (without looking it up) (not marked)	11 SNOW DAY (kind of)	12 String algorithms, String vs StringBuilder StringBuilder Write a program that uses at least 3 methods of StringBuilder class
15 Family Day	16 Work period Border of stars Make a program that reads in a sentence using Scanner class. Now split the sentence at the last space before you get to 20 letters Set "20" to be a constant (ie. final static variable) Printout the sentence surrounded by ****. The *** must form a box and have at least 1 space to the left and right of the text. If there is no space in the first 20 letters, print an error message exit the program (or else it will probably crash) The output should look like this. Please enter a line of text: "The unusually warm weather makes me think of summer. It is hard to stay focused on mundane work." <ENTER> ************************ * The unusually warm * * weather makes me * * think of summer.

By the end of Unit 1 you need to know

• how to cast primitive data types to other types
  (and when casting is unnecessary)
• how to make numbers that are float and long
• how to use wrapper classes to change strings to numbers
• how to use wrapper classes to change primitive data types to objects and vice versa
• how to find the biggest number in an array of numbers
• immutable objects (strings, wrappers)
• how to use StringBuilders
• how to use String object .indexOf() and .substring()
